1) Data
Johor Bahru falls under Region 5- Southern (Figure 5.A1)
So, use characteristic Region 5- Southern
For catchment , the area is 6.140 hectares and the following assumptions are made for the
Sizing of earth drain:
1) There are two segment earth drains passing through over the catchment.
2) Soil types of catchments is bare sand and bare clay
3) The design storm is 5 years ARI
Overland flow = 20 m
Open drain flow = 400.566 m
Average surface slope = 2%
Determine tc
From Design Table 2.1 for bare soil surface,to = 5 minutes
The 5 years ARI rainfall intensity is derived from Equation 13.2, since t c is less than 30 minutes
