2 Discharge Capacity of the Channels

Based from the existing Drainage Plan of Barangay Carmen, Cagayan De Oro City from
the Office of the City Engineers, we have obtained the specific details and specifications to
evaluate the drainage discharge capacity. From the plan, the height of the canal was obtained in
every station because it varies from station to station.

Using the Manning’s Equation:

where:

k is a unit conversion factor: k=1.49 for English units (feet and seconds).  k=1.0 for SI units
(meters and seconds).
A=Flow area of the pipe, culvert, or channel.
P=Wetted perimeter which is the portion of the circumference that is in contact with water.
Q=Discharge (flow rate).
S=Downward (longitudinal) slope of the culvert.
V=Average velocity in the pipe, culvert, or channel.
