A leak was identified along a straight 300-mm PVC pipe. If the pressure gauge upstream and downstream the leak registered 75 kPa and 60 kPa, respectively, determine the rate of discharge of the leak and the flow in the pipe downstream of the leak. Consider 0.085 cms initial flow rate and 1.5 m total head lost in the system.
Design a concrete sewer required to carry a maximum design discharge of 10 cfs on a slope of 0.003. The minimum expected discharge is 2.5 cfs. Check the velocity for self-cleansing. Assume that commercial pipes are available in steps increasing by 0.5 ft (i.e. davail = 1 ft, 1.5 ft, 2ft, 2.5 ft...etc.)
A pipeline is needed to drain water away from a hypermarket car park which regularly gets flooded during even moderate rainfall. The current drainage system starts to fail at a rate of 5m3/s, and it is estimated that a drainage rate of at least 15m3/s is needed so that flooding would only occur once every ten years. The drain has fall of 2m over a length of 200m. Estimate the smallest pipe diameter which would clear the water where the head available at the start of the drain is 1.5m. Assume that the Darcey Weisbach friction coefficient would be 0.012.
instantaneous infiltration rate can be estimated by the equation, f= 0.5(a / +0.5) + b, where 'a' and 'b' are constants and 't' is the time elapsed from the beginning of the storm. find total infiltration during 10 hours if a=5 mm/hº.5 and b = 10 mm/h.
A farm of 36 hectares is supplied by open field drains. The spacing of these drains were selected to be 250m, and the area covered by each drain is 6 hectares. Take the drainage coefficient = 1.157 * 10-6 m/sec. Find: 1- Discharge at the end of a field drain. 2- Discharge at the first 50m length of the drain. 3- Total discharge passed through the collector drain.

This water was drained by perforated pipes 20cm diameter laid at 2m depth below soil surface. If the depth of impervious layer 8m .find the spacing of drains to maintain the permissible groundwater table 1.5 m below soil surface. The hydraulic conductivity 0.5 m/day.
