Department of Civil Engineering
HYDRAULICS - 2
Urban Drainage Design Exercise
Date of submission
- 31 August 2017
OBJECTIVE:
Design the drainage system (cross-section of channels) for the particular rainfall and given catchment area.
Design of cross section should be safe for the return period of 25 years or more.
OUTCOMES:
On successful completion of the problem students should be able to cover all the module outcomes that
are mentioned in the module descriptor.
TASKS:
All students are required to submit individual report and make calculations for the collected data.
The report should cover the following tasks:
1. Give the detailed introduction, necessity of urban drainage system and uses.
2. Calculate the peak run off rate (m3/s) for the given precipitation (rainfall) and given
catchment area by Rational method or any other suitable method.
3. For the peak run off, design the section of the canal (trapezoidal, triangular, circular or
rectangular).
4. Design of the cross-section should be most-economical.
5. Slope of the channel should be for appropriate velocity that does not create erosion. .

Make sure adjectives and adverbs relate closely to what the data actually show.
DELIVERABLE:
The report should not exceed 10 pages, starts from the Summary to the appendix (if any).
GUIDELINES:
Follow the guidelines mentioned below during writing your report:
The report should have a Title Page. Title Page should contain the following information.
College name and logo
Title
Module name and Code
Student name
Student ID
Use page numbers
Use your own words on writing, Times New Roman font size 12
Heading should be with Font Size 12, Bold
Copy and paste from the Internet sources is strictly not acceptable and will be treated as a
plagiarism and will be dealt with as per polices given below.
Rules & Regulations
If any content or diagram of the report body is found to be copied from the other students
then marks will be deducted from both reports.
The purpose of the report is to do some research work so you can consult books in
Library or use internet or computer magazines or any other source.
Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarised documents, in parts or whole, submitted by the students will be rejected. For
the first offence of plagiarism, a student enrolled in undergraduate programme is penalised
with a deduction of 25% of the achievable marks on the assessment as per the plagiarism
policy statement and is allowed to re-submit the work once, within one week. The student
has the right to appeal against the decision made, to the respective Programme
Coordinator. Further appeal on decision taken may be made to the Head of the concerned
department. If the student is not satisfied by the decisions taken by the department, s/he
can appeal to the Plagiarism Appeals Committee.
For the second offence of plagiarism against the student, (committed in any semester
after the semester of the student‘s first offence of plagiarism in the tenure of the student in
the undergraduate programme), the student is awarded zero in the assessment where
plagiarised content was found. The student is not allowed to re-submit the assessment. The
Hydraulics 2-CIVL 0018-SUMMER- 2017
student has the right to appeal against the decision made to the respective Programme
Coordinator. Further appeal on decision taken may be made to the Head of the concerned
department. If the student is not satisfied by the decisions taken by the department, s/he
can appeal to the Plagiarism Appeals Committee.
Repeated offences of plagiarism by the student (more than two times) are dealt with as per
the college policy on Academic Dishonesty as mentioned in the Student Handbook (6.2).
All decisions on plagiarism related offences will be communicated to the student by the
respective module instructors, using routine channels of communication with students,
currently used by the college, preferably on the same day the charges are confirmed or the
very next working day.
The student has the right to appeal against the decision informed by the module instructor
to the respective Programme Coordinator. Further appeal on decision taken may be made
to the Head of the concerned department. If the student is not satisfied by the decisions
taken by the department, s/he can appeal to the Plagiarism Appeals Committee.
In certain cases, the student may be required to appear for an interview with the module
instructor, if deemed necessary.
The maximum time limit given to a student to raise appeal against the charges of plagiarism
is two working days including the day on which the matter is informed to the student. It
is preferable that the appeals are made on the same day of the college on which the student
is informed of the issue. All appeals must be made during regular working hours of the
college.
Late Submission
Penalty for late submission - 5% of the maximum mark specified for the assessment will
be deducted for each working day.
Assessment documents submitted beyond a period of f i v e days after the last date
of submission will not be accepted and will be marked as zero for that assessment.
