Project Name: Jalwani Village Stone masonry Gravity Check Dam Enter Only Yellow Cells

Hydraulic design:
Discharge estimation based on Rational method

Q = kCIA m3/sec 3.53 Cumecs

k, for metric method is 0.278
C, Runoff coefficient 0.6 From table
I, Railfall intensity (mm/hr)
A, Drainage area (Skm) 1.35 Skm

In regions where no IDF curve is available, rainfall intensity could be calculated:

15.67 mm/hr
0.38
I = T/(tc+10)

Where:
T- is return period 50 year
tc- is time of concetration (minutes)
0.77 0.385 11.19 minutes
tc = 0.01947 L /S

Where:
L - is maximum length of travel 2100 m
S - is catchment slope 0.30
Highest top catchment level 2650 m
Level at axis of check dam 2030 m

Design of spillway for Check Dam: Base Width of Check dam

L = C*H 21.00 m Regime width (Lacey’s) 9.07 m
L = Total length of Apron Regime width of the canal (P)= 4.83 x√( Q) m
C = Bligh’s Creep Co-efficient = 3 to 5 (as the sub-Clay, sand and gravel)
H = Height of weir= 7 Looseness Factor (LF)= Overall length of dam/P
Overall length of check dam = 37 m

Scour Depth on Downstream side
Length of downstream Talus Assume downstream velocity as 1 m/s and breadth of water course equal to length of
1.60 m weir.
Downstream Talus = L3 – L2

1.23 m Fr, froude number
Thickness of Apron beyond Toe at different sections y1, depth of flow (pre-jump depth)
Residual pressure at 4m from Toe & thickness of Apron: H, hight of the wier or water depth
