Introduction Over the past few years the disharmony
between human use systems and natural systems has resulted in repeated flooding in the Caribbean, eg:
Jamaica (1979, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1988, 2004, 2005),
Barbados (1970, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1998, 2004),
Guyana (1996, 2005); and
Trinidad and Tobago (1988, 1993, 1998, 1999)
Recently disastrous flooding in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Barbados reinforces this reality.

Flooding in the Caribbean often
result from one of the following:
Severe rainfall events
Hurricanes, tropical storms between June to November
Riverine flooding – excess runoff to gullies, streams,
rivers
Flash flooding High intensity - short/long duration rainfall events;
Prolonged rainfall events
![Page 8: Drainage Unit: Its Functions and Responsibilities · Theory –Hydrological ... Soil wetness, initial flow rate, evaporation, air temperature, season Land-use. Procedure of flood](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042216/5ebd9ddf4d8b522b94164a89/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Why Flooding Occurs?
High elevation:short reach (gullies lengths);
Coincidence of high tide with rainfall events;
Development pressures;
Dense development on flat lands;
Inadequate drainage systems and structures; and/or
High sand build-up at the outfall;

Flood Issues
Inundation of properties;
Lost of Business;
Soil loss & erosion;
Degradation beaches & reefs;
Publics’ nuisance and inconvenience;
Increased development and assoc. runoff;
Disruption to traffic flows; utilities & businesses
Illegal dumping;

Procedure of flood runoff analysis
Investigation of flood data
1)Method of flood runoff calculation
Calculation of flood runoff
2)Division of catchment
3)Verification of runoff model and allowable errors
![Page 16: Drainage Unit: Its Functions and Responsibilities · Theory –Hydrological ... Soil wetness, initial flow rate, evaporation, air temperature, season Land-use. Procedure of flood](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042216/5ebd9ddf4d8b522b94164a89/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Procedure of flood runoff analysis
Investigation of flood record
1)Preparation of lists of existing flood data
Check records of rainfall, water level, discharge at
observation stations within the area to be studied.
2)Determination of floods to be analyzed and
floods to be estimated based on the records in (1)
Floods to be analyzed are used for the parameter
calibration and should have sufficient information on the
measured discharge hydrograph. It is recommended to
use three events for small, medium and large floods.
Floods to be estimated are the floods for which the
hydrograph must be estimated by a certain method.
![Page 17: Drainage Unit: Its Functions and Responsibilities · Theory –Hydrological ... Soil wetness, initial flow rate, evaporation, air temperature, season Land-use. Procedure of flood](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042216/5ebd9ddf4d8b522b94164a89/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Procedure of flood runoff analysis
Investigation of flood record
Missing records of rainfall should be supplemented with
the records at other rain gauge stations based on the
correlation analysis.
4)Calculation of average rainfall depth in watershed
If there are sufficient number of rain gauge stations:
1)Arithmetic mean method
2)Thiessen polygon method
3)Isohyetal method
If there are insufficient rain gauge stations:
Representative coefficient method
3)Supplementing records for missing observed
values of rainfall
