SCOPE:
The document covers the calculation of discharge,minimum & maximum velocity
of water flow in storm water drainage system.

ASSUMPTIONS:
1) The rational method is used for estimating peak run-offs.
(Qrain = Area x Rainfall intensity x Run off coeffecient)
2) Rain & fire water are considered in design. Severe of both is used for the design.

Conversion Factors:
1 Acre = 43560 Sq.Ft
1 GPM = 0.00223 CFS

How to Use:
Q, Vmax, Vmin:
Input values in cells highlighted "Yellow". Maximum discharge shall be computed by
defining the maximum depth of flow. Following macros are available.

Displays all Columns.

Displays Columns pertaining to Discharge and Maximum velocity

I Calculation. This shall be the default setting for Input.

Displays Columns pertaining to Discharge, Maximum and Minimum

Velocity Calculation. This option hides some of the input cells
and hence shall be set once pipe sizing is completed.

Macro to automatically calculate the depth of flow corresponding

to minimum discharge. Need to input the start row number when
this macro is initiated. Macro automatically finds the last row and
goal seek is performed by ignoring the blank lines.

Sample Calculation
Input Line ID as mentioned in the "Q, Vmax, Vmin" spreadsheet to get sample
calcualtion of that Line ID.
