4841. CASCADE Documentation

  • CASCADE will calculate a flood hydrograph using the cascade of linear reservoirs (Ponce, V.M., 1989.  Engineering Hydrology, Principles and Practices, Prentice Hall).

  • The program will prompt you to enter catchment area A, time interval Dt, number of effective rainfall increments m, rainfall increments Pi, reservoir constant K, and number of reservoirs n.

  • CASCADE will accept SI units only.

  • Use catchment area in km2 and rainfall increments in cm.

  • The time interval Dt and the reservoir constant K should be in hours. The ratio Dt/K should not exceed 2, and typically should be less than 1.

  • The program reports time (hr) (abscissa) and corresponding flood discharge (m3/s) (ordinates).
