At Chainage 350.00, there is a steep gradient between C30 Wadi and the Culvert C1/7
upstream. This calculation is to design the stepped channel to convey storm flows from the
chainage 350.00 of C30 wadi to the Culvert C1/7 upstream.

Hydrology
C30 Wadi conveys flow from catchments C27, C28, C29, C31 & C32 and the adjacent road
surface runoff . Peak flows generated in the catchment are as follows

Stepped Channel Design

The hydraulic design of this stepped channelis based on the design procedure detailed in
the GEO Technical Guidance Note No. 27 (TGN 27) from the Geotechnical Engineering
Office, Civil Engineering and Development Department, The Government of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region.
