Solution

Given N=2, Wp= 22ft, Cs=40ft

Wp 22 0.355
From equation 8.18, q  0.1( N  1  )  0.1(2  1  )  0.016 ft 3 / h / ft 2
Cs 40 22

From figure 8.3, the 1-h duration/1-year frequency precipitation rate for Kentucky is 1.2 in./hr.
Cedergren recommended that the design infiltration rate be obtained by applying a coefficient varying
from 0.33 to 0.5, so the value of q will be equal 0.033 to 0.05 ft3/hr/ft2

Given K=0.5 ft/day, H=23ft. Ho=15ft, W=40ft. From equation 8.20, Li=3.8(H-Ho)=3.8*(40-15)=30.4ft,

Li  0.5w 30.4  0.5* 40 w 40 K (H  Ho )
