Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

You are responsible for calculating the peak discharge for a culvert design in a smallwatershed in Washington, DC. The watershed area is 4 acres and currently has 30 % of its area ofindustrial (heavy areas) and 70 % of residential (single –family areas). The design manual suggestsyou design your culvert for a 10 return period. The watershed has a concentration time of2 hours. Calculate:a) What is the design peak flow?b) What is the impact of the runoff coefficient (C) range on your design?c) After you implemented your project, the residential area was entirely converted toindustrial areas. Would that affect you design? If yes, by how much?
