INTRODUCTION
______________________________

ꜥ The proposed project work details with the design

and construction of Storm water drainage in
Velachery, Chennai.

ꜥ The main objective of the project is to designing and

constructing a storm water drainage system to
mitigate flooding and waterlogging issues at
Velachery.
URBAN STORMWATER PROBLEMS
______________________________

ꜥ Flooding: During heavy rainfall events, stormwater can quickly

overwhelm drainage system, leading to flooding and property
damage.

ꜥ Water quality degradation: As stormwater runoff impervious

roads such as roads and rooftops which picks up pollutants.

ꜥ The lack of linkage between existing stormwater structures is

one of the reasons why waterlogging was seen in low lying
areas.
OBECTIVES
______________________________

ꜥ To access the quantity of stormwater runoff in a

congested urban area (Ex: Velachery, Chennai)

ꜥ Based on the stormwater runoff calculation, the

design of the urban stormwater management
structures being carried out to manage the urban
stormwater issues.

 IRRIGATION ENGINEERING AND HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES

S.K. Garg (2007) provides an overview of methods for

calculating stormwater runoff, including the rational method,
Modified rational method, and soil conservation service
method.
 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF SUSTAINABLE STORM WATER
DRAINAGE SYSTEMS

Hu et al. (2020) emphasizes the importance of sustainability

in the design and construction of storm water drainage
systems. The authors argue that the incorporation of green
infrastructure, such as green roofs and rain gardens, can
provide multiple benefits, including reducing storm water
runoff and improving urban biodiversity.
 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF STORMWATER DRAINAGE
SYSTEMS IN URBAN AREAS

K. N. Gunasekera and P. H. S. W. Kulatunga et al. (2017) discuss the

various components of stormwater drainage systems, including surface
and subsurface drainage, and discuss the importance of incorporating
sustainable practices into the design and construction process. The
article highlights the need for improved planning and management of
stormwater infrastructure to ensure effective performance and
minimize the negative impacts on the environment
RUNOFF CALCULATION
___________________________________________

The Rational Method

This method is mostly used in determining the quantity of storm water.
The storm water quantity is determined by the rational formula.
Q= C.i.A./ 360
Where,
Q = quantity of storm-water in m3/sec.
C = coefficient of runoff
i = intensity of rainfall in mm/hour.
A = drainage area in hectares.
RUNOFF COEFFICIENT
___________________________________________

The whole quantity of rain water that falls over ground does not reach the sewer
lines or drains. A portion of it percolates in the ground, a portion evaporates, a
portion is stored in ponds and ditches, and only the remaining portion of rain
water reaches the drains and sewers. The runoff coefficient is a fraction which is
multiplied with the quantity of total rainfall, to determine the quantity of rain
water which will reach the sewers. After continuous rainfall for some time, the
ponds and ditches are filled up and the atmosphere becomes nearly saturated,
therefore the runoff coefficient mainly depends on the characteristics of ground
surface as porosity, wetness, ground cover etc.
RUNOFF CALCULATION
___________________________________________

Type of surface % of Area Runoff Coefficient

Roofs 30 0.9

Pavements and yards 15 0.8

Lawns, Gardens 30 0.15

Macadamised roads 15 0.4

Vacant Plots 10 0.1

OVERALL RUNOFF COEFFICIENT
___________________________________________________________

Runoff Coefficient ‘C’ = A1 C1 + A2 C2 + … + An Cn

A1 + A 2 + … + A n

= 65 (0.3x0.5 + 0.15x0.8 + 0.3x0.15 + 0.15x0.4 + 0.1x0.1)

65(0.3 + 0.15 + 0.3 + 0.15 + 0.1)

C = 0.505
RUNOFF CALCULATION
___________________________________________

The Rational Method

Q = C.i.A./ 360

Overall coefficient of runoff C = 0.505

Intensity of rainfall i = 50 mm/hr.

Q = 0.505 x 50 x 65 / 360
Q = 1633.675 / 360
Q = 4.54 3
m /sec.
