  • This paper is on the decision of design magnitude for flood control of urban basin, based on flooding characteristic values. In Korea, a design magnitude for flood control is established based on peak discharge of the outlet of basin. However, this method is inappropriate in an urban basin because sewerage only can flow out as much as it could and other discharge overflow to basin. In order to calculate a design magnitude for flood control of an urban basin, flooding characteristic values (peak discharge of pipe, average flooded depth, maximum flooded depths of an important point, flooded area, flooded volume, flooded time) were used as a tool. Using the Gwanghwamun Square as an example, a methodology was proposed that used XP-SWMM 2010 model as a platform to predict urban flood disaster. It can help other local government and residents to better understand, prepare for and manage a flood in urban environments.
