Determine quantity of sewage in `m^3`/sec for combined system from following data :

  • `50 %` of area is roofs and pavements (`C_1 = 0.8`) 
  • `50 %` of area is vacant plots (`C_2 =0.1`) 
  • Area of community ` 5` hectares 
  • Population density = `700` persons/hectare 
  • Water supply rate = `150` lpcd. 
  • Peak factor = `3` 
  • Time of concentration =`10` minutes. 

Solution:

Average impermeability factor is,

`C=(C_1**A_1+C_2**A_2)/(A_1+A_2)`

`=(0.8**0.5+0.1**0.5)/1`

`=0.45`

Now, the sanitary discharge is given by,

`Q_(DWF)=(3**700*5**150**0.80)/(1000**86400)`

`=0.0146\ m^3/s`

Again,

The intensity of rainfall is,

`i=760/(10+10)=38` mm/hr

Now, the storm discharge is,

`Q_(WWF)=(CiA)/360`

`=(0.45**38**5)/360`

`=0.2375\ m^3/s`

Now, the quantity of sewage for the combined system is given by,

`Q=Q_(DWF)+Q_(WWF)`

`=0.0146+0.2375`

`=0.2521\ m^3/s`

An impervious area of `20` hectares is to be served by a sewer line. This area is subjected to three storms X, Y, Z with equal frequency of occurrence. The duration of the three storms is `20` minutes, `30` minutes and `35` minutes respectively. Taking the time of concentration equals to `30` minutes. Determine the maximum runoff from the each storm. [Ans : `0.938` `m^3`/s ,`1.134` `m^3`/s , `1.03` `m^3`/s]
