1. The document provides the steps to calculate the velocity of flow in a partially full sewer pipe. It determines the full flow velocity is 0.66 m/s. Using the ratio of actual to full flow, the partially full velocity is calculated as 0.51 m/s. 2. It asks the probability of at least one 10-year storm occurring in the first 10 years and over 40 years of a drainage system. 3. It provides the steps to calculate the 5-year peak discharge for a drainage basin with two sub-catchment areas. Using the rational method, it determines the 5-year peak discharge is 1.2 m3/s.

line to the discharge curve labeled “ n variable with depth.” From the intersection point, draw a
horizontal line to the velocity curve labeled “ n variable with depth.” From this intersection
point, draw a vertical line down to the abscissa and read v / v full = 0.78.

Therefor Vpartially full = 0.78*Vfull


= 0.78 * 0.66 = 0.51m/s

2. What is the probability that at least one 10 year storm will occur during the first10 year
operating period of a drainage system? What is the probability over the 40 year lifetime of the
system?
3. A storm sewer is proposed to drain a 12 hectares drainage area shown in the figure below.
With given data in the table below determine the design discharge needed to convey 5-year peak
discharge.

Site Area (ha) C Inlet time (min)

A 4 0.8 10

B 8 0.5 30
Solution: Upstream Area (Manhole 1):
A = 4 ha
C = 0.8
tc = 10 min
i = 2700/(10+15) = 108 mm/hr
Qp = CiA/360 = (0.8)(108)(4)/360 = 0.96 m3/sec
• Downstream Area (Manhole 2):
A = 4 +8 = 12 ha
C = (0.8 x 4 + 0.5 x 8)/ 12 = 0.6
Time from A – 1 – 2 : 10 + 10 = 20 min
Time from B – 2 : 30 min (max)
tc = 30 min
i = 2700/(30+15) = 60 mm/hr
Qp = CiA/360 = (0.6)(60)(12)/360 = 1.2 m3/sec
4: From a topographic map and field survey, the area of the drainage basin upstream from
the point in question is found to be 35 hectares. Determine the maximum rate of runoff for
a 10-year. The following data were measured:
•Length of overland flow = 45 m Average overland slope = 2.0%
•Length of main basin channel = 700 m
•Slope of channel = 0.018 m/m = 1.8 %
•Manning’s Roughness coefficient (n) of channel is, n = 0.090
•Hydraulic radius = A/P, can be approximated by average depth, = 0.6m
•Land Use and Soil Data
•Residential (multi-units, attached) 40%
•Undeveloped (2.0% slope),with lawns, heavy soil cover 60%
•For the undeveloped area the soil group:
•Lawns, heavy soil100%
•The land use for the overland flow area at the head of the basin was estimated to be:
•Undeveloped, (Lawns, heavy soil, 2.0 % slope) 100%
Solution,
Overland Flow __
• The runoff coefficient (C) for the overland flow area from Table is 0.12-0.17, use 0.14.
• Time of Concentration From Kirpich’s formula with an overland flow length of 45 m, slope of
2.0 % and a C of 0.14, the inlet time can be calculated as:
0.77
0.00032 L
t e= 0.385
S

0.00032(45)0.77
t e= 0.385 , = 0.027 hr = 1.6 min
(0.02)
• Channel flow velocity is determined from Manning’s formula:
• V = (1/n)R2/3S1/2
• Using n = 0.090, R = 0.6 m and S = 0.018m/m, V = 1/1 m/s.
Therefore,
• Flow Time = (700 m)/(1.1 m/s)(60 s/min) = 10.61 min and tc = 1.6
+ 10.61 = 12.21 min
• Rainfall Intensity
• From the equation given with a duration equal to 12.61 minutes,
• I10 = 375/(12.61+5)0.71= 49 mm/hr
• Runoff Coefficient
• A weighted runoff coefficient (C) for the total catchment area is
determined in the following table by using the values from Tables
4-1
Peak Runoff
From the rational equation:
Q10 = CIA/360 =0.35 x 49 mm/h x 35 ha/360 = 1.67 m3/s
