Assuming surface on which rainfalls is thickly built residential district as follows :
| % of total surface | Types of surface | Impermeability |
| 48 | Roofs and pavements | 0.85 |
| 22 | Lawns and gardens | 0.2 |
| 30 | Ground surface | 0.1 |
Calculate average impermeability factor. If total area draining to sewer is `6` hectares and maximum intensity of rainfall is `55` mm/hr. Estimate runoff from area.[TU 2006]
Solution:
Average Impermeability factor is,
`C=(0.85**0.48+0.2**0.22+0.1**0.3)`
`=0.482`
Now, the runoff from the area is,
`Q=(CiA)/360`
`=(0.482**55**6)/360`
`=0.442 \ m^3/s`

A population 50,000 resides in a town covering an area of 75 hectares. Calculate the design discharge for the combined system of sewers. Given,
- Coefficient of runoff =0.7
- Time of entry = 5 minutes
- Time of flow = 20 minutes
- Water supply rate = 120 lpcd. [PU-2008]
