Q1. There is a proposal for a development plan over a 10Ha land having 5% slope, comprising sandy soil.
The site is within the City centre and the surface runoff drains to the public sewer.
Rules and regulations of the City dictates any development plan CAN NOT EXCEED 80% of the overall
land area.
The plan is to construct sports centre consisting several facilities with 30,000m2 closed area covered
with roofs and the remaining permissible area will be covered with compacted gravel to be used as
carparks, driveways and walks.
Regional Meteorology Department statistics indicate total annual rainfall intensity of 1200mm.
a. Calculate the existing greenfield peak surface runoff to the sewer in 1ts.
b. Calculate the possible peak discharge in 1ts to be drained into the sewer after completion of the
development plan. Ignore about the flow time delay within the field.
c. If an idea is to benefit from the rainwater harvesting for the roofed areas, calculate the size of a tank
in m3. to store rainwater for a storm that lasts 10 hours.Solve Step by step for an upvote!
