This work presents a computer assisted methodology for designing a distributed system of rainstorm detention basins. The procedure is based on the condition that water discharge must be lower than a fixed threshold limit at the downstream end of the system, for a given input hydrograph flowing over it. Results were obtained for a portion of the Solofrana brook between Solofra and Pandola municipalities, Campania Region, Southern Italy. Flow rates were first determined for a return period of 100 years by applying the VAPI geomorphoclimatic model. Then, basin volumes were determined on the condition that the maximum discharge had not exceeding the limit of 60m3/s, as imposed by the Hydrogeological Structure Plan (PSAI) of the Central Campania Basin Authority.

Abstract
This work presents a computer assisted methodology for designing a distributed system of rainstorm detention basins. The procedure is based on the condition that water discharge must be lower than a fixed threshold limit at the downstream end of the system, for a given input hydrograph flowing over it. Results were obtained for a portion of the Solofrana brook between Solofra and Pandola municipalities, Campania Region, Southern Italy. Flow rates were first determined for a return period of 100 years by applying the VAPI geomorphoclimatic model. Then, basin volumes were determined on the condition that the maximum discharge had not exceeding the limit of 60m3/s, as imposed by the Hydrogeological Structure Plan (PSAI) of the Central Campania Basin Authority.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
