Properties of Sediment
Bulk Properties:
s.f. = c / (a b) 1/2
Wf = (Δ g D2) / (18 ν)
- ν : kinematic viscosity
Properties of Sediment
Mineral Composition: presence or absence of certain minerals
in a sand sample à clues for history of the

2) Spillway: Collects, raises and diverts flow to the intake
<Fig. 4.3>
<Fig. 4.4>
(b) Screens: racks at the entrance of intake (in front of the vertical
gate) to retard floating objects and coarse sediment
(d) Flushing canal: located at the end of the settling basin & used to
discharge sediment deposited in the settling basin
■ Final solution:
Design of Intake
► Vat the end < 0.3 m/s || Vat the entrance < 0.8-1.0 m/s
► Design Discharge:
