borehole pump; an in-line booster pump delivers the water to a reservoir, with the level 20m above
ground level at the well site. the system’s pipe work has the following characteristics:

Aquifer and well data are as follows: the coefficient of permeability of the aquifer,K = 50m per day;
the aquifer thickness=20m;the radius of the well,r W = 0.15m.
A pumping test suggested that the drawdown was 3m when the abstraction rate was 30L/s.the
water table is 2m below ground level. The draw down is as follows:

Where q is the abstraction rate in m3 per day, and RO is the radius of influence of the well, which
may be assumed to be linearly related to the abstraction.
Determine the maximum discharge which the combined pumps would deliver to the reservoir.
Given: K= 50m/day = 50/ (24*60*60) = 57.87 x 10-5m/sec, b =20m, r W=0.15m, drawdown =3m,

Residential = 120L/resident/day
Commercial = 16200L/hec/day
a) The average daily flow (ADF) from residential and commercial area.
b) The peak design flow(PDF)for a sewer serving this area taking peaking factor of 4
c) The diameter of the sewer for the above PDF if the ground slope is 1
Solution:
b) PDF = PF*ADF +allowance = 4*423.84 + 9*54 =2181.36 m3/day = 0.02525 m3/sec =1.515 m3/min
I read D =179mm take standard diameter of 150mm,but to have a capacity of 1.515 m3/min ,the slope
has to be steepest i.e. s =0.03
With d/D =65% = 0.65, from partial flow diagram, v/Vf = 110% = 1.1

I read D =685mm take standard diameter of 700mm,but to have a capacity of 1.515 m3/min ,the slope has to be
steepest i.e. s =0.0041
Therefore select larger diameter D = 700mm at s =0.004, Qf =40 m3/min and Vf = 1.71m/sec
With d/D =74.6% = 0.746, from partial flow diagram, v/Vf = 112.5% = 1.125
3. Design the two sewer reaches shown below in figure 2.the design flow for reach 1 is 40L/s and for
reach 2 it is 80L/s. use a minimum cover of 2m.sketch a profile of the street and sewer.
Solution:
Reach 1
Q = 40l/sec = 2.4m3/min S = (350 - 347.87)/80 = 0.026625
I read D =179mm take standard diameter of 200mm,but to have a capacity of 2.4 m3/min ,the slope has to be
gentle i.e. s =0.0135
Therefore select larger diameter D = 700mm at s =0.004, Qf =40 m3/min and Vf = 1.71m/sec
Enter the monograph with s = 0.0275 and D = 200mm Qf =3.65m3/min and Vf = 1.80m/sec
With q/ Qf =2.4/3.65 = 65.75%, From partial flow diagram, d/D =58.5% = 0.585
With d/D =58.5% = 0.585, from partial flow diagram, v/Vf = 106.5% = 1.065

Manhole 1
Reach 2
Q = 80l/sec = 4.8m3/min S = (347.87 - 347.00)/100 = 0.0087
Therefore, to get min cover =2m and to resolve problem of sedimentation use D=450mm and S =0.008
Enter the monograph with s = 0.0275 m3/min and D = 450mm Qf =15m3/min and Vf = 1.62m/sec
With q/ Qf =4.8/15 = 32%, From partial flow diagram, d/D =40% = 0.4
With d/D =40% = 0.4, from partial flow diagram, v/Vf = 90% = 0.90
Invert Elevation
Since, size of pipe of reach 1 and reach 2 are different.Therefore, the crown of reach 1 should be at the
same elevation with the pipe crown elevation of reach 2.
Crown elev.at reach 1 pipe = invert Elev.of reach 1 pipe + pipe diameter

4. Given: 100 person per hectare, Sewage contribution per capita = 375L/d,
Solution: refer figure on the question paper for manhole locations, area and street elevations data
Assumptions
o Per hectare flow is the same
Remarks:
o The pipe sizes which I read it from the monograph (column 7, Table 4- 2) are modified to the next largest
standard pipe size or to a size that accommodates the design flow at a desired depth. These selected sizes
are entered in column 9 of Table 4- 2.
o Note that: For the range of pipe sizes encountered in this problem, a desirable depth of flow is normally
from about half to three-fourths full. Many of the 200mm.minimum diameter pipes, because of the low
flows carried, have the design flow depth that are less than half the maximum depth. this can not be
avoided and does not create a problem as long as cleansing velocities are maintained (all velocities are
greater than 0.6m/sec)
Required: Design a storm drainage system to carry flows from the eight inlet area given in the fig.4
Assumptions
o By assumptions clay soil to be predominant in the area, Appropriate c value are assumed
Remarks:
o Beginning at the upstream end of the system, compute the discharge to be carried by each successive
length of pipe, moving downstream. These calculations are summarized in Table 5-2.
o Note that: at each point down stream where a new flow is introduced, a new time of concentration must
be determined as well as new values of c and drainage area size. As the upstream inlet areas are combined
to produce a larger tributary area at some design point, a revised C values representing these combined
areas must be obtained.
For example, in the computation of the flow to be carried by the pipe from M-9 to M-8, the tributary area is A
+ B + c = 6.46ha, and the composite value of C will be
o At the design location the value of tC will be equal to the inlet time at I-8 plus the pipe flow time from I-8
to M-9(see table 5-2).
o Using the computed discharge values, select tentative pipe sizes(from Manning Monograph) for the
approximate slopes given in column 8 of Table 5-2.Once the pipe sizes are known, the flow velocities
between input locations can be determined.Normally,these velocities are approximated by computing the
full-flow velocities for maximum discharge at the specified grade.
o These velocities are then used to compute channel flow time for estimating the time of concentration by
using the formula
