10. Backwater and Surcharge Most surcharge conditions result from downstream restrictions that reduce sewer capacity. The flow monitoring data shown here indicate that this sewer operates as expected up to […]
09. Surcharge Surcharge conditions are common in sewer systems, especially during wet weather event. The flow monitoring data shown here indicate that this sewer operates as expected up to its […]
08. Debris Amusement The scattergraph depicted here reveals shifting debris that reduces the pipe capacity at this monitoring location. The iso-Qs depict the average daily minimum and maximum flow rates. […]
07. Iso-Q Lines The relationship between flow depth and velocity is important to understanding the hydraulic conditions in a sewer. The addition of flow rates to a scattergraph deepens the […]
06. Constant vs. Varrying Roughness The Manning Equation can be applied using three methods, including the Design Method, the Lanfear-Coll Method, and the Stevens-Schutzbach Method. The roughness coefficient used in […]
