Introduction
The effective design and the operation of the sediment basins depends on the soil condition of the area.
For a dry sediment basin should be used on Type C soils which are characterised by high percentage of coarse
particle. The volume of the settling zone and the sediment storage components should each be half of the total
basin volume.

From the table above, the required surface area is 200 m /ha, and the required total volume is

240 m /ha
Notes :
1) Settling zone depth = 0.6 m
2) Total volume = half as sediment storage volume and half as settling zone volume.
3) N/a indicates that the removal target of 85% cannot be achieved with a reasonable basin size
for these conditions.
4) For condition of construction time less than 2 years, 3 months ARI is recommended; if the
condition of construction more than 2 years, 6 months is adopted.

Provide information,
Total Catchment area = 0.40 acres = 0.161 ha
Asume, Design storm = 6 month ARI
2 2
Surface Area (m /ha) = 400 m /ha
3 3
Total Volume (m /ha) = 480 m /ha
Calculation,
2
The Surface area required for the site = 400 x 0.161 = 64 m
3
The total basin volume required for the site = 480 x 0.161 = 77 m
Settling zone :
3
Required volume of settling zone V1 = 39 m ( half the total volume )
Required depth of settling zone y1 = 0.60 m
Settling zone width will be, W1 = 5.5 m
Required settling zone average length, L1 = V1 = 12 m
W1 x y1

Average surface area = 12 x 5.5 = 64.264 m OK!! >V1

Sediment storage zone :
2
The required volume of sediment storage, V2 = 39 m
For a side slope Z = 2.0 (H) : 1(V)
The dimensions at the top of the sediment storage zone are,
W2 = W 1 - 2 x d1 x Z = 4 m
2
L2 = L1 - 2 x d1 x Z = 10 m
2
The required depth for the sediment storage zone, which must be at least 0.3m, can be calculated from the
following relationship,
2 3 2
V2 = Z Y2 - ZY2 (W2+L2) + Y2(W2L2)
3 2
39 = 4 Y2 - 29.57 Y2 + 45.08 Y2
Assume,
2
Y2 = 0.4 m , V2 = 14 m
NOT OK!! Due to Y2 < 0.3m and V2 < V2 req

Overall Basin Dimension:
At top water Level:
WTWL = W1 + 2 x Z x y1 = 7 m
2
LTWL = L1 - 2 + Z x y1 = 13 m
2
Base,
WB = W1 - 2 x Z x y1 + y2 = 3 m
2
LB = L1 - 2 x Z x y1 + y2 = 9 m
2
Depth:
Settling zone, y1 = 0.60 m
Sediment Storage zone, y2 = 0.40 m
Side Slope, Z = 2(H) : 1(V)
Sizing of outlet pipe:
Outlet riser = 300 mm diameter perforated MS pipe.
The pipe is to be provided with sufficient small orifice opening to ensure that the basin will completely drain within
24 hours after filling.
An estimate of the total area of orifice openings required can be obtained by rearranging Equation 19.5 (USMMM)
and using the average surface and total depth of the basin.

Average surface area, Aav = ( 7 x 13 )+( 3 x 9 ) = 56 m

Orifice area, Atotal = = 0.000 m

Using an orifice size = 10 mm,
2
the area of each orifice is Ao = 0.00008 m
Total number of orifices required = 6
At height increments of 85 mm will give 9 number of orifices.
Hence, give 14.1 rows with 127 nos x 10 mm orifice of each rows evenly space around the pipe.

Sizing of emergency spillway :
The emergency spillway must be designed for a 10 year ARI flood (see section 39.7.6(c)). The sill level must be
set a minimum 300mm above the basin top water level. To simplify the calculation, the following assumptions
are made :
* assume riser pipe flow is orifice flow through the top of the pipe only
* riser pipe head is 300mm, i.e. The height between the top of the pipe and the spillway crest level
Qspillway = Q10 - Qriser
Provide infomation,
C = 0.90 ( please refer to Calculation Peak Flow Pre Development )
10
I10 = 243 mm/hr
A = 0.397 acre = 0.161 hectare
= C. I10.A
10
Q10
360
Therefore,
3
Q10 = 0.098 m /s
From Equation 20.2 for orifice flow and assuming and orifice discharge coefficient of 0.60,
1/2
Qriser = Co.Ao.( 2gHo)
3
= 0.103 m /s
So,
Qspillway = Q10 - Qriser
3
= -0.005 m /s
1.5
Qspillway = Cscw B Hp
Cscw = H = 0.60 = 0.6 > 0.3
Try, Hc 1.00
B = 3.0 m = refer Design Chart 20.2
H = 0.60 m = 1.84
Cscw = 1.84 refer Design Chart 20.2 (USMM)
3
Qsp = 2.565 m /s > Q10 ; OK!!
Therefore, the total basin depth including the spillway is = 1.90 m
