The Job Control parameters include all of the universal data necessary to run an Orange County analysis that are not a part of a basin, reach, or reservoir. The following are the specific parameters defined as part of job control:

Units: By default Orange County performs computations in English units, however metric unit calculations can be specified.

Frequency: Select the return period of the design storm. Non-mountainous and mountainous IDF curve values are updated based on this selection. The user must enter IDF curve values for the 500-yr storm.

Expected Value: Toggle this check box on to do an expected value analysis. IDF curves and losses will be automatically updated for each sub-area if they have already been computed.

IDF Curves

IDF (intensity-duration-frquency) curves in Orange County are calculated differently depending on the location of the analysis. This section is subdivided into non-mountainous (areas below 2000 feet) and mountainous (areas above 2000 feet) regions.

Non-mountainous – The IDF curves are generated using a regression equation where:

  • – rainfall intensity (in/hr, mm/hr)
  • – duration (min)
  • – regression equation coefficients

Mountainous – The IDF curves are generated by interpolating between known intensities at specified time values.
