CALCULATION
EXAMPLE 1
As a consultant, you are chosen to develop 30 ha area in Teluk Intan, Perak. The location was suitable for
Semi-Detached Bungalow with paved surface and covered with smooth finish concrete lined drain. By
using the data given, calculate the peak flow of 5 year ARI for that area.
Overland sheet flow travel time = 10 minute
Overland sheet flow path length = 70 m
Slope of overland surface = 5%
Hydraulic Radius = 20 m
Friction Slope =2%
Length of drain = 150 m
SOLUTION
• STEP 1 : DETERMINE DESIGN ARI,
I=
SOLUTION
Refer to table 2.B I. Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia Perak – Teluk Intan –
Station ID 4010001 (JPS Teluk Intan)
λ = 54.017
Κ = 0.198
θ = 0.084
η = 0.790
SOLUTION
T = ARI = 5 years
D = storm duration, tc = t0 + td (refer to Table 2.1) Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia
T0 = ,
N = From Table 2.2, Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia = 0.015
L = 70 m
S = 5%
T0 = = 4.794
SOLUTION
• Td =
• N = from table 2.3, Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia = 0.015
• L = 150 m
• R = 20 m
• S = 2%
SOLUTION
• Td = = 3.60 x 10-3
• Therefore; tc = t0 + td
• = 4.80 minute
• I=
• i = = 21.22 mm/hr
Step 3 : Runoff Coefficient (C)
For ARI of 5 years, from table 2.5 , Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia
C = 0.7
From Equation Q = C. I. A
360
360
= 1.24 m3/s
EXAMPLE 2
As an Environmental Engineer you are awarded a project to design drainage system for Taman Ira, nearby SK Taman Maluri,
Kuala Lumpur which is in an urban area. The location was suitable for semi-detached bungalow with paved surface and covered
with smooth finish concrete lined drain. By using the provided data, calculate the peak flow of 5 year ARI for that area.
Area = 10 ha
Density of area = medium density residential area
Overland sheet flow travel time = 8 minutes
Overland sheet flow path length = 80 m
Slope of overland surface = 5%
Hydraulic radius = 20 m
Friction slope =2%
Length of drain = 400 m
