INTRODUCTION

 A stormwater drain is defined as that portion of the

storm drainage system that receives runoff from inlets

and conveys the runoff to some point where it is then

discharged into a channel, water body, or piped

system.

 A storm drain may be a closed-conduit, open-conduit,

or some combination of the two.

Drainage can be detailed
into

Drainage

• Road Surface Drainage - It is an important factor to remove all the water from road
surface at the least possible time, so that structural integrity of overall cross-section of the
road is maintained, good riding quality of road will enable in saving vehicle operation cost, if
surface runoff, of rain water is efficient.

• Sub Surface Drainage - It is very important to release water trapped inside subgrade
and pavement [Link] of the sub soil drainage locations are localized. This water shall
be collected by subsurface drainage systems which in turn discharge into a drainage system
clear of road formation. Eg. GSB layer Weep Holes Drain
Advantages and Disadvantages

 Advantages

• Provides proper drainage of Surface Run-off and avoid damages to infrastructure such as
private properties and streets.
• Provides possibility to recharge groundwater and re-use precipitation water and surface run-off
as irrigation and household water.
• Minimizing health risks.
• Provides effective stormwater flood control.
• Can be integrated into Urban landscape and provide green recreational areas.
Advantages and Disadvantages

 Disadvantages

• Expert planning, implementation, operation and maintenance required for a Stormwater


Management.
• A lot of operation and labour required.
• There is risk of clogging infiltration system caused by high sedimentation rates.
Parameters for Drain Design (IRC SP- 42 and IRC SP -50)

 
1. Rainfall Intensity -The design duration shall be taken equal to the time of concentration.
For roadside drains, the time of concentration is generally of the order of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or
40 minutes.

where,
i = Intensity of rainfall within a shorter period of 't' hours within a storm
F = Total rainfall in a storm in cm falling in duration of storm of T hours.
t = Smaller time interval in hours within the storm duration of 'T hours.
T = Duration of total rainfall (F) in hours.
Parameters for Drain Design (IRC SP- 42 and IRC SP -50)
2. Catchment Area – While
designing drain in urban areas, we
are mainly concerned with the
water which is coming over the
pavement, in that case catchment
area for the drain is equal to
surface area of the pavement but
in some cases nearby area such as
hilly areas or nearby vegetation
also contribute to the surface run-
off, in that case catchment area
can be calculated using Toposheet
of that area or Bhuvan-2d of Govt
of India.
Parameters for Drain Design (IRC SP- 42 and IRC SP -50)
 
2. Runoff Coefficient (P) – some of the suggested values of P given in IRC SP- 42 (Pg no. – 60)

3. Hydraulic Design of Drain Section – Capacity of drain is normally designed using Manning’s
formula.
and
Parameters for Drain Design (IRC SP- 42 and IRC SP -50)
 Where,
Q = discharge in cum/sec
V = Mean velocity in m/sec
n = Manning’s rugosity coefficient
R = Hydraulic mean radius which is area of flow cross-section divided by wetted Perimeter
S = Gradient of drain bed
A = Area of flow cross section in sq-m.

4. Geometric Relationships for Flow Channel –

a) Rectangular Channel –

Flow Area – b x h ,Wetted Perimeter – b+2h, Hydraulic Radius =

b) Trapezoidal Channel –

Flow Area - , Wetted Perimeter -

Hydraulic Radius -

5) Manning’s Roughness Coefficient (n) and Velocity of Flow (v) – Pg. 80 of IRC SP -42
Parameters for Drain Design (IRC SP- 42 and IRC SP -50)
6) Minimum Free Board –
Example – Digha Patani
