Abstract

Detention basin is highly effective hydraulic structure which is available for flood mitigation and ecological characteristics. However, analysis of flood mitigation by detention basin is performed with numerical approaches only, there is not enough data obtained by experimental observation. In this study, physical experiment were performed under unsteady flow condition to analyze flood mitigation with detention basin. Various design factors such as location, later weir height and extent of detention basin were considered in this experimental observations. As the distance from detention base to target location become closer and later weir height become higher, we can expect more effective flood mitigation. As the area of detention basin area become lager, we also expect more higher flood mitigation effects. But, the flood mitigation effects from detention basin would converged to critical value. The obtained data will be useful for following studies about detention basin.
