Question: Consider a conceptual urban drainage design presented below for three urbanized subcatchments ( A , B , and C ) with areas varying between 1

Consider a conceptual urban drainage design presented below for three urbanized subcatchments (A, B, and C) with areas varying between 1.5 and 3 acres, as shown in the figure below.
Compute the stormwater runoff peak flow using the Rational Method, assuming a rainfall intensity of 5.95 inches/hour.
Each of these subcatchments will drain their stormwater runoff to sewers S1,S2, and S3, as shown in the figure below. The commercially available sewer diameter options are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6-ft diameters. Using the diagram Q/Qf on this page, design the sewer'size option that yields a flow depth in each sewer that is nearest to 70% of the diameter.
Considering all the runoff contributions from areas A, B, and C, calculate the anticipated water depth in the triangular grassed swale that receives the inflows from all the sewers.
