3 Computations (as per CWPRS Guidelines)
Step 1
3
Flow at entry (with overloading and flushing discharge) = 5.80 m /s
3
Flow at exit (less flushing discharge) = 5.80 m /s
3
Average flow in the desilting chamber, Q = 5.80 m /s
3
Average flow in one bay, Q1 = 5.80 m /s
2
Required X-Sectional Area per bay (Ar) = 16.6 m
(corresponding to max flow through velocity)
2
Adopt, Aad = 20.0 m
2
Total X-Sectional Area of Desilting Chamber, At = 20.0 m
2
Actual X-sectional Area of one bay, Aa = 22.19 m
Actual velocity through the desilting chamber, Va = 0.26 m/s OK
Total Flow Depth in the chamber, D = 5.10 m
Step 2
Length of Inlet Transition
CWPRS recommends a bed slope between 1V:2H to 1V:2.3H

Step 4
Length of Basin (L)
Effective depth, D = 5.10 m
Average Forward Velocity/Flow through Velocity, Va = 0.26 m/s
Required fall velocity, Vo = D*Va/L
Assuming L = 27.00 m
Vo = 0.049 m/s OK
