Collection areas for the commercial, institutions and industry land uses in hectares and percent
development at the end of the planning horizon or design period are given in Table 1. The flow in
the main as it enters the manhole (at MH-07, 10 and 12) is given in Table 1. Based on the annual
operating data in a similar area, the respective adjustment factor for Summer and Winter are 1.5
and 0.8. The minimum flow factor is 0.25. The diurnal variation of wastewater flow in various
sources are given in Table 7. Use standard head-loss method to calculate the head loss at the
manholes with coefficient of 0.25.
There are two football fields, with an area of 1.44 hectare each, one near to manhole 13 and the
other near to manhole 18. The local administration has a plan to collect the runoff generated from
the two football fields with the sanitary sewer system. The runoff coefficient of the field is 0.7 and
the intensity of rainfall in the area is 0.5 mm/hr.
Local regulations require the main sewer pipes must have ND ≥ 200 mm. The minimum and
maximum velocity in the sewer pipe, cover depth and hydraulic gradient set by the local
regulation is given in Table 5. Data for system geometry and proposed pump capacities to be used
at the pumping station are given in the table below.

Question:
1. Use MS-Excel, design only the gravity wastewater collection system using:
a. traditional approach to self-cleansing
b. tractive force approach to self-cleansing
2. Using SewerCAD:
a. Design the sewerage system
b. For the selection of pumps in ‘a’, find out the optimum schedule of manual operation that
can reduce the pressure variation in the system during 24 hours.
c. There is residential redevelopment in the vicinity of manhole 08 with 5200 inhabitants.
Specific water consumption of Individual No l/c/d is selected as a design parameter
assuming the same diurnal pattern for residential (Figure 7). What will be the maximum
peak wastewater generation into manhole 08 after the residential area is developed? Test
the conditions during the maximum generation hour and identify sewer network element
in the system having problem. If required, find out additional pumping capacity by
modifying the existing and/or adding maximum two new pump units. In addition,
redesign the existing sewer pipe downstream of manhole 08 by considering maximum of
two new pipes to be installed in parallel to restore the system.
Note: You can reasonably assume any data required but not included/given.
Required report:
The following reports shall be submitted by each student.
1. Report showing procedure followed in the design process and the comparison result using
the two design approaches (MS-excel)
2. Report showing procedure followed in the design process and analysis of the result using
SewerCAD model and brief description on some points:
− where the minimum and maximum constraints could not be met and give your own
recommendation on how to handle such situations.
3. Summary result for manholes and pipes (include only important information).
