Channel Design

This document contains calculations for the design of three U-channels (UC1, UC2, UC3) to drain three catchment areas. For each channel, the catchment area, water flow, channel gradient and required channel size are calculated based on rainfall intensity charts. UC1 with a gradient of 1:8 and size of 375U is adequate to drain an area of 17761m2. UC2 with a gradient of 1:100 and size of 300U can drain an area of 350m2. UC3 with a gradient of 1:20 and size of 300U is sufficient for an area of 100m2.
