Text description of figure
This chart assists the North Shore City Council staff to assess expected system performance of wet weather overflows based on changing extreme rainfall events.
| Step | Analysis of process | Result or outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Intensity-Frequency-Duration analysis of historical rainfall and expected changes in rainfall due to global warming and IPO phase change (IFD tables of historical and expected future rainfall: 2050) | Establish relationship between historical and future rainfall IFD tables |
| 2 | Analyse historical rainfall data Determine storm characteristics (Rainfall-Intensity- Duration and preceding condition) | Estimate storm characteristics under future climate condition (Using existing storm characteristics and IFD relationships) Also incorporates results from Step 1 above |
| 3 | Analyse and relate system performance (overflows, storm water runoffs etc from long-term simulation) with storm characteristics (Rainfall-Intensity-Duration of overflow or runoff; Statistical Model) | Estimate characteristics of system performance under future condition (Intensity-Duration of overflow or runoff for each storm and long-term system performance IFD) Also incorporates results from Step 2 above |
| 4 | Compare system performance under historical condition (adopted in planning process) and expected future condition (IPO phase change and global warming) Incorporates results and outcomes from step 3 | |
Note: Steps 3 and 4 are repeated for each system performance indicator (system overflow)
