Question

A new 1.2-ha suburban residential development is to be drained by a storm sewer that connects to the municipal drainage system. The development is considered mostly of single-family dwellings and is characterized by a Manning roughness coefficient for overland flow of 0.20, an average flow length of 200-ft, and an average slope of 0.7%. Local drainage regulations require the sewer pipe to be sized for the peak runoff resulting from a 10-yr rainfall event and a minimum time of concentration of 5-minutes. The following 10-yr IDF curve describes the site rainfall conditions expressing rainfall intensity, ???????? (inch/hour), as a function of storm duration, ???????????????? ( minutes): ????????=315.5????????????????0.81+ 6.19Estimate (a) the time of concentration for this site using kinematic-wave equation, and (b) the peak runoff rate to be handled by the storm sewe

Answer 1

Time of concentration,
`t_d` ⇒ 1280 min

Peak runoff rate,
`Q_p` ⇒4.185 ff³/s
