    Calculating water level

    Please confirm what you are looking to calculate the water level for. I will assume storm sewer piping based on the HEC-22 reference. Usually, your DOT will have a program that you can use to calculate the HGL and EGL for storm pipe runs. In Texas the software is called winstorm, and can be...

    Feel like starting a war...

    Unless this is a postage stamp size site and the client is trying to maximize every square inch because of ineffective site plan layout (ie. a favorite pastime of architects - convincing the client that they can develop the entire site without any allotment for stormwater BMPs), then I believe...

    Time of Concentration and Rainfall Intensity - Rational Method

    My guess is that the statement is just bad word smithing. I don't believe he is saying that the Tc is being ignored, but due to the relatively steep slope and small watershed, the engineer is saying that a they assumed a minimum Tc(ie 10min) and no calculation for Tc is included. The 6...

    Evaporation (Pan)

    Thanks hokie66. That is what I was doing, it just felt too simple.

    Evaporation (Pan)

    what would be the volume of evaporation over the 2 acre reservoir per day in ac-ft? The purpose of this evaluation is to determine how much make-up water should be introduced to maintain a required working pond volume.

    Evaporation (Pan)

    I am trying to determine a rough volume for the daily evaporation from a reservoir using evaporation pan data. I have been looking through several textbooks which only discuss using pan data in relation to reservoirs by referring to the correction factor Cp for the rate. The data I have for...
