Assuming surface on which rain falls in a thickly build up residential district as follows :
- `40 %` area consists of roofs and pavements (`C_1 = 0.80`)
- `60 %` of area consists of lawns and gardens (`C_2 = 0.2`)
Calculate coefficient of runoff. If area of district is 2 hectares and maximum intensity of rainfall is taken as 50 mm/hr, what is runoff of district? (Ans: `0.44, 0.122` `m^3`/sec)

Calculate coefficient of runoff. If area of district is 2 hectares and maximum intensity of rainfall is taken as 50 mm/hr, what is runoff of district? (Ans: `0.44, 0.122` `m^3`/sec)
Solution:Average runoff coefficient is,
`C=(C_1A_1+C_2A_2)/(A_1+A_2)`
`=(0.4**0.8+0.2**0.6)/1`
`=0.44`
Again,
Runoff is given by,
`Q_(WWF)=(CiA)/360`
`=(0.44**50**2)/360`
`=0.122\ m^3/s`

Similar Question
A certain district of a city has a projected population of 50,000 residing over an area of 40 hectares. Find the design discharge for the sewer line, for the following data :
- Rate of water supply = 200 lpcd
- Average impermeability coefficient for the entire area =0.3
- Time of concentration = 50 minutes
The sewer line is to be designed for a flow equivalent to the wet weather flow (WWF) plus twice the dry weather flow (DWF).Use British ministry of health formula. Assume that `70%` of water supply reaches in the sewer as wastewater.(Ans: `0.648 m^3/s`)

The surface of the town on which the rainfalls is classified as follows :
| Types of surface | % area | Runoff coefficient |
| Roof | 25 | 0.8 |
| Pavements and yards | 25 | 0.85 |
| Macadamized roads | 15 | 0.32 |
| Gravel roads | 10 | 0.2 |
| Unpaved streets | 20 | 0.15 |
| Lawns and gardens | 5 | 0.2 |
What is the runoff of the catchment if,
- Total area of catchment is 12 hectares
- Time of concentration for the area is 15 minutes.
