 Chapter 6. Hydrological Survey
6.1 General
Hydrological survey is necessary for each cross drainage structures with exact locations
for design of adequate and safe Cross Drainage Structures so that the rain water can
pass as per natural slope. The hydrological and hydraulic studies are to be conducted in
accordance with IRC: SP: 13-2004 and IRC: 5-2015. Hydrological survey of the proposed
road is based on the following observations:
Rainfall Data
Catchments Area
Time of Concentration
Existing Cross Drainage Structures

Drainage of road refers to the satisfactory disposal of surplus water within the road limits.
The water involved may be precipitation falling on the road, surface runoff form the
adjacent land, seepage water moving through sub-terrain channels, or moisture rising by
capillary action. Adequate information about drainage patterns is necessary to devise
an effective drainage system, which brings into focus the need for requisite studies and
investigations

Drainage studies have the following principal objectives

Fixing the grade line of the road
Design of pavement and
Design of the surface/sub-surface drainage system

• Main components of drainage investigation are determination of HFL and ponded

water level, depth of water table, range of tidal levels and amount of surface runoff.
Besides this, for cut sections in rolling and hilly areas, it would be necessary to carry out
special investigations for sub-terrain flows and seepage of irrigation water from fields
situated above the road.

• Extent of studies and the data to be collected will depend on the type and scope of
the project. Usually good deal of information could be collected through site inspection,
simple measurements and local enquiry. Most appropriate time for such enquiries is
during the stage of preliminarysurvey so that the information gathered can be of use in
fixing the alignment and finalizing the broad strategy for improving the drainage.
Detailed investigations could continue till the final location survey when any adjustment
in the light of further data could still be made before the projects in finally ready. In the
case of cut sections, investigations for seepage and sub-terrain flows may generally
have to be done again at the stage of formation cut when new features may come to
light warranting modifications in design or the need for special measures.

6.2 Rainfall Data

Rainfall Data as applicable for the project road were collected with maximum Rainfall
occurring in the months of July/ August.

6.3 Catchment Area

The Catchments area is calculated by gathering local information and survey as per
sheet enclosed here. Catchment area have been calculated from toposheet.
Discharge is calculated by Dickenn's Formula Annexure-5

6.4 Time of Concentration

Time of concentration (tc) in hours is calculated from the formula of (0.87 x L3/H)0.385,
where L is distance from the critical point to the structure site in km and H is the
difference in elevation between the critical point and the structure site in meters.
