    This document provides calculations to design a grassed channel for a 150 hectare residential development. It determines the design flows of 31.25 cubic meters per second for a 100-year storm and 8.882 cubic meters per second for a low flow condition. It selects a trapezoidal channel cross section with a width of 2.5 meters, depth of 0.95 meters, and side slopes of 3 to carry the low flow. Finally, it calculates the dimensions of the grassed channel required to convey the 100-year design flow of 31.246 cubic meters per second with a depth of 1.7 meters, top width of 23.2 meters, and Manning's roughness coefficient of 0.035.

    The document provides an example calculation for designing a grassed channel to convey stormwater runoff from a proposed residential development.

    The engineered channel is designed to carry the 100-year ARI (Average Recurrence Interval) flow.

    The assumptions made in designing the grassed channel include a post-development time of concentration of 100 minutes and a Manning's roughness coefficient of 0.035 for the well-maintained channel.

    1 PROBLEM

    Determine the size of a grassed channel at the downstream end of a proposed 150 hectare
    residential area (link and terrace house) in Ipoh, Perak based on the following assumptions:
    • the engineered channel is to be designed to carry the 100-year ARI flow;
    • the post-development time of concentration tc is estimated to be 100 minutes; and
    • the engineered channel will be well maintained with an estimated design Manning’s roughness
    coefficient of 0.035.

    2 Determine design flows for the engineered channel:
