Question: An asphalt pavement drains into a rectangular concrete channel. The catchment surface has an average slope of 1 % and the distance from the channel

An asphalt pavement drains into a rectangular concrete channel. The catchment surface has an average
slope of 1% and the distance from the channel boundary to the drain is 30 m . The drainage channel is 60
m long, 20 cm wide, 25 cm deep and has a slope of 0.6%. For an effective rainfall rate of 50mm//h, the
flow rate in the channel is estimated to be 0.02m3//s. Estimate the time of concentration of the
catchment. Hint: use kinematic wave based eqn 10.13. Use Table 10.1 to determine the Manning
coefficient for asphalt pavement (drain) and for concrete (channel).
