STEP DESCRIPTION Symbol Equation SI unit Remarks

Step 1: Indentify Peak Discharge from site & target peak discharge
1a Sub-Catchment Area, A = = 0.30 ha
1b Weighted runoff coefficient Cpost = = 0.92
1c Time of concentration tc = = 5.0 min
Ave. rainfall intensity for 10yr i10 = 8913/(tc+36) = 217.4 mm/hr
1d Storm event
1e Peak Discharge from sub- Qpost = CpostI10A/360 = 0.167 m3/s
catchment
Max Allowable Peak Discharge for Qallowable = C0.55I10A/360 = 0.100 m3/s
entire site
1f Target runoff coefficient Ctarget = = 0.55
1g Target Discharge from sub- Qtarget = CtargetI10A/360 = 0.100 m3/s
Check if Qtarget ≤ Qallowable
catchment = Yes

Step 2: Determine required detention volume

2a Calculate K1 K1 = (8913xCpostxA)/6 = 410.0
2b Calculate K2 K2 = (8913xCtargetxA)/12 = 122.6
2c Calculate K3 K3 = tc + 36 = 41.0
2d Calculate txmax txmax = -k3+√(36K1K3/K2) = 29.3 min
2e Calculate txlimit txlimit = (Cpost-Ctarget)(tc+36)/Ctarget = 27.6 min
2f Select txcritical txcritical = min(txmax, txlimit) = 27.6 min
2g Required detention Volume Vt = k1(tc+txcritical)/(K3+txcritical)-k2(2tc+txcritical)/K3 = 82.4 m3
Step 3: Determine detention tank configuration
3a Effective tank depth dt = = 1.00 m
3b Tank bottom Area At = Vt / dt = 82.4 m2 25m x 12m
Step 4: Sizing of detention tank discharge control
4a Orifice discharge Qo = CoAo√(2gHo) = 0.095 m3/s
Orifice discharge Coefficient Co = = 0.60
Area of orifice Ao = πdo2/4 = 0.038 m2
Acceleration due to gravity g = = 9.81 m/s2
Maximum head to centre of orifice Ho = dt-do/2 = 0.89 m
Required Orifice diameter do = = m
0.220
Check if Qo ≤ Qtarget Yes
