Abstract
There are several empirical and theoretical formulas used for the estimation of the time of concentration (Tc). However, it has been shown that the Tc estimation may vary in several orders of magnitude depending on the method. In this study we compare 10 different methods for the estimation of the Tc using sub-basins and backwater effects to analyze those results. We also analyzed if the vegetation removal changes the Tc in the basin. The study area is the basin of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) campus in Joinville with a significant part in a wetland and there is backwater effect caused by the Piraí river. Applying the empirical and theoretical equations found a significant variation of Tc estimates, the standard deviation in relation to the general average was around 65%. The influence of vegetation removal and drainage of a canal had an effect of reducing the Tc by 50%.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering (JUEE) provides a forum for original papers and for the exchange of information and views on significant developments in urban and environmental engineering worldwide. The scope of the journal includes: (a) Water Resources and Waste Management [...] (b) Constructions and Environment[...] (c) Urban Design[...] (d) Transportation Engineering[...] The Editors welcome original papers, scientific notes and discussions, in English, in those and related topics. All papers submitted to the Journal are peer reviewed by an international panel of Associate Editors and other experts. Authors are encouraged to suggest potential referees with their submission. Authors will have to confirm that the work, or any part of it, has not been published before and is not presently being considered for publication elsewhere.
