A spillway 45 m long having discharge coefficient 1.8 permits a maximum discharge of 90 m³/s from a storage resevoir. It is proposed to replace the spillway by a siphon spillway of section 0.75 m x 1.5 m with operating head 8 m and discharge coefficient 0.64. Find the number of siphons required and the amount of extra water sored, if the siphons have a primig depth of 0.15 m; the average surface area of the reservoir being 5 x 105 m².

A spillway 45 m long having discharge coefficient 1.8 permits a
maximum discharge of 90 m³/s from a storage resevoir. It is
proposed to replace the spillway by a siphon spillway of section
0.75 m x 1.5 m with operating head 8 m and discharge coefficient
0.64. Find the number of siphons required and the amount of extra
water sored, if the siphons have a primig depth of 0.15 m; the
average surface area of the reservoir being 5 x 105 m².
