Abstract:A literature review on flow hydrographs, peak discharges, and computer-based hydrologic and hydraulic modeling has been prepared. The first section deals with flow estimation, with special attention given to flood peak discharges (because they are a key design parameter for highway drainage structures). The second section addresses the use of computers for hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, the use of geographic information systems' (GIS) for accounting for the spatial variability of the terrain, and the use of GIS-based hydrologic models for designing highway drainage structures.
