4.3 Outflow hydrographs Outflow hydrographs were derived following standard breach routing equations by Fread (1988) implemented in the software HEC-HMS version 4.12. Hydrograph estimations consider the unique stage-storage relationship of the outflow breach and breach parameters presented in Table 4.3. Table 4.4 summarises the resulting peak flows for each of the assessed scenarios. Derived breach hydrographs are provided in Figure 4.5 and Figure 4.6.
