A surface infiltration basin will be constructed to manage 1 in (25mm) of runoff over 1-ha drainage area.
The surrounding soils are classified as loamy sand with an infiltration rate of 1.6 in/h. The basin filling
time is designed as 2 h and the maximum holding time is 24 h. Assume that sediment and biogrowth
clogging factor is 0.49.
A. For side slopes of 3:1 and a bottom length-to-width ratio of 4:1, find the dimensions of the infiltration
basin.
B. Find the volume of sand necessary for the bottom fill of the infiltration basin.
