Question: Two identical triangular slotted drains will be constructed at the road section shown below. The peak flow is estimated from the following data: runoff coefficient

Two identical triangular slotted drains will be constructed at the road section shown below. The peak flow is estimated from the following data: runoff coefficient =0.75, rainfall duration =6 mins, ARI =10 years. Assume that the IDF curve given below is applicable in the area. The following constants will be used in the design: g =32.2 ft/s2,100% inlet efficiency, 0.5 orifice constant, and 2.6 weir constant. Considering one drain, determine the following (20 points):
a. depth of water (in ft)
b. water spread (in ft)
c. area of the slotted drain opening (ft2)
