Scour Depth Calculation: Proposed Intake Well at Haraulipur

This document calculates the scour depth below the highest flood level for a proposed intake well in Haraulipur using Lacy's formula. It determines the median size of bed sediments to be 0.04 mm, and calculates the Lacy's factor and maximum discharge. Plugging these values into Lacy's formula along with increasing the discharge by 30% yields a scour depth of 22.75 meters below the highest flood level of 111.95 meters.

SCOUR DEPTH CALCULATION

LOCATION:- Proposed intake well at Haraulipur


By Lacy's Formula :-
Mean Scour Depth Below HFL :- Q
0.473*( )^1/3
d = f
Lacy's Factor f = 1.76*(dm)^0.5
dm = Median Size of Bed Sediments
dm = 0.04 mm
Taking bed Sediments
as course silt
Hence f = 0.352

Maximum Discharge
Q =
during Flood
( from guage station Kalapi)
Q = 30000 m3/sec.

For Scour Depth Calculation Q is Increased by 30%

Q = 39000 m3/sec.
Hence d = 22.71791421 m
Say d = 22.75 m

Scour Depth Below HFL is Taken as 22.75m

HFL in River at Haraulipur intake well = 111.95 m


Lowest bed level in river at intake well = 87.88 m
Depth below HFL = 24.07 m
111.95-87.88

Heighest Flood Discharge


Station Name
Level (m) (m3/sec)
KALPI ( Up Stream ) 112.98 26000
Intake Haraulipur 111.61 30000*
HAMIRPUR ( Down Stream ) 108.59 30000

* : For the design of scour depth maximum discharge has been taken
