Question: Table 2 . 3 : Values of Manning's Roughness Coefficient ( n ) for Open Drains and Pipes ( Chow , 1 9 5 9

Table 2.3: Values of Manning's Roughness Coefficient (n) for Open Drains and Pipes
(Chow,1959; DID, 2000 and French, 1985)
i=Tx(d+)
where,
i= Average rainfall intensity (mmhr);
T= Average recurrence interval month and 2T100 year);
d= Storm duration (hours),0.0833d72; and
,, and = Fitting constants dependent on the raingauge location (Table 2.B1 in Appendix 2.B). Table 2.5: Recommended Runoff Coefficients for Various Landuses
(DID,1980; Chow et al.,1988; QUDM, 2007 and Darwin Harbour, 2009)
Note: The runoff coefficients in this table are given as a guide for designers. The near-field
runoff coefficient for any single or mixed landuse should be determined based on
the imperviousness of the area.Figure 2 shows the area of the drainage basin upstream of a proposed highway culvert
near Pejabat Daerah Kampar, which is found to be 20 hectares. In terms of soils and
surface cover, the natural drainage area is reasonably homogeneous with grass cover
with average surface slope of 0.2%, covering 70% of the total basin area. There appear
to be two distinct flow paths converging into 0.2m width rectangular concrete drain
at fully build up industrial zone at the lower area. Using Rational method, find the
peak discharge for 10 years ARI at the outlet of the drainage basin adjacent to the
highway. Assume water depth for the drain to be 0.1m.
