Sheet -5-

For future flow : Qav = 65000 m3/day , Qmax = 1.6 Qav

Calculate the following:

Dimension of main collection sump.

Diameter of rising pipe.

Flow rate and total head of pumps, knowing that two

pumps will pump the flow from elevation 10 to elevation
25m above sea level for a distance of 1200m.

1- Sewer lines ABCDE, shown in figure

A B C D E

30m 30m 30m 30m

15l/s 30l/s 45l/s 45l/s 75l/s

Calculate diameter and slope of lines AB, BC, CD, and DE, considering the
following that Sewer flow rate = 0.7 water depth of pipe diameter at Qmax
= 2 Qav

Line AB:

Qmax = 2 Qav

Qmax = 2 x 15 = 30 l/sec

- d/Dfull = 0.7, then from chart Qmax / Qfull = 0.85 & Vmax / Vfull=
1.15

- Q full = Qmax / o.85 = 30 / 0.85 = 35.3 l/sec .

- S = 0.005

From nomogram D = 150 mm

Sheet -8-

1- Ten families are living in a house located away of sewerage

system of the city. Septic tank are required to treat the waste
water and reusing the treated water in irrigation , Design this
system, if each family has 6 persons and average rate of water
consumption equal 150 L/d.

2- In a rural area there are many separate houses, each one has a
population of 50 persons, and rate of water consumption
estimated to be 110 L/person/day,

Design a complete drainage system for each house.
