Preface In the near future, energy is converted as a luxury item and water is considered as the most vital item in the world due to reduction of water resources in most area. Furthermore, the most water consumption belongs to agriculture and irrigation. One of the best methods to increase of irrigation efficiency is soil improvement and reuse of drained water. In this condition, role of water science researchers and drainage experts is important more than ever. If a water engineering student do not educate well, will not solve problems of water sciences in the future. Many engineer students learn all necessary lessons in the university, but they cannot to answer to the problems or to pass the exams because of forgetfulness or lack of enough exercise. This book contains one hundred essential problems related to drainage engineering with a small volume and covers both urban and agricultural drainage problems. Undoubtedly, many problems can be added to the book but the author tried to mention only more important problems and to prevent increasing of volume of the book due to help to feature of portability of the book. To promotion of student skill, both SI and English system have been used in the problems and a list of important symbols has been added to the book. All of the problems solved completely. This book is useful for not only exercising and passing the university exams but also use in actual project as a handbook. The handbook of drainage engineering problems is usable for agricultural, civil, and environmental students, teachers, experts, researchers, engineers, designers, and all enthusiastic readers in drainage engineering, soil sciences, surface and pressurized irrigation, agricultural water management, water resources, hydrology, and hydrogeology fields. Prerequisite to study of the book and to solve of the problems is each appropriate book about drainage science; however, the author recommends studying of the references to better understanding of the problems and presented solutions. It is an honor for author to receive any review and suggestion to improvement of book quality.

Step 1: Determine the required drawdown in 24 hours. Since the maximum root depth is 24 inches, the effective root depth is 12 inches. Therefore, the required drawdown would be 12 inches in 24 hours. Step 2: Determine the drainage coefficient needed to provide 12 inches of drawdown. From figure 10–31a, we see that to lower the water table 12 inches in a Goldsboro soil requires a volume drained of 0.33 inches:
0.33 in / day = 0.0139 in / hr 24 hr / day
Step 3: Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity (Ke) to use in the ellipse equation. Notice that only 2 inches of the surface layer was used because as the water table drops from the surface, saturated flow is not occurring in the entire layer.

The estimated ditch spacing needed to provide the required drainage during the controlled drainage mode is 67 feet. 39. Determine: The ditch spacing necessary to provide subirrigation in the figure. Assume: The peak evapotranspiration rate for corn is 0.25 inch per day.
Step 1: Determine the maximum allowable water table elevation in the ditch. As in the previous example, the effective root depth is 12 inches. At least a 6-inch safety zone is required, but a 9- to 12-inch root zone is preferred. In this example use 9 inches. Therefore, the maximum water table elevation in the ditch is 21 inches below the surface. Step 2: Determine the lowest allowable water table elevation at midpoint. From figure 10–33, the water table depth below the effective root depth to supply 0.25 inch per day for a Goldsboro soil is approximately 16 inches. The distance from the surface to the lowest allowable water table level is then:
16 + 12 = 28 in Step 3: Determine the allowable sag:
28 − 21 = 7 in Sag = 0.58 ft Handbook of Drainage Engineering Problems Edited by: Mohammad Valipour

eBooks The sag is equivalent to the gradient, m. Step 4: Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity. Assume all flow occurs below the lowest water table elevation. This means that flow occurs in 20 inches of layer 2 and all of layer 3.

Notice that since the water table is 28 inches deep at the lowest point, no flow occurs in layer 1 and in the upper 14 inches of layer 2. Step 5: Determine ho to be used in equation 10–8. Since the water table depth at the ditch is 21 inches below the surface;
ho = 7 − 1.75 = 5.25 ft Step 6: Determine the ditch spacing required to provide subirrigation. The value for q during subirrigation is the ET rate that was 0.25 inch per day or 0.0104 inch per hour.

The ditch spacing (55.1 ft) required for subirrigation is less than the spacing (67 ft) required for controlled drainage.

Since the value 60.6 feet is only 0.2 foot less than the previous value, it is not necessary to repeat the process again. So the estimated design spacing for drain tubing for this system being operated in the control drainage mode is 61 feet. Notice that this is less than the ditch spacing of 67 feet needed for the same operation. This is because of the convergence that occurs with drain tubing.

eBooks 41. Determine: Drain tubing spacing necessary to provide subirrigation in the figure. Assume: Peak evapotranspiration rate for corn is 0.25 inch per day. This is basically the same problem as that in example 10-2 except drain tubing is being used rather than ditches.
Step 1: Determine the maximum allowable water table elevation above the drain tubing. As in the previous example, the effective root depth is 12 inches. At least a 6-inch safety zone is required, but a 9- to 12-inch zone is preferred. In this example, use 9 inches. Therefore, the maximum water table elevation directly above the tubing is 21 inches below the surface. Step 2: Determine the lowest allowable water table elevation at the midpoint between drain lines. The water table depth below the effective root depth to supply 0.25 inch per day for a Goldsboro soil is approximately 16 inches. The distance from the surface to the lowest allowable water table level is:
16 + 12 = 28 in Step 3: Determine the allowable sag: 28 in – 21 in = 7 in, or 0.58 ft. The sag is equivalent to the gradient m. Step 4: Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity. Assume all flow occurs below the lowest water table elevation. This means that flow occurs in 20 inches of layer 2 and all of layer 3. Saturated depth of layer 2 = 63 in –36 in–7 in = 20 in.

Notice that since the water table is 28 inches deep at the lowest point, no flow occurs in layer 1 and in the upper 14 inches of layer 2. Step 5: Determine ho. ho = de + yo is not known until Hooghoudt’s equation has been solved, so use d, which is 3 feet, for the first try. yo is the height of the water level over the tubing. The water level is to be held 21 inches (1.75 feet) below the surface over the tubing and the tubing is 4 feet below the surface, thus the first estimate is:
4 − 1.75 = 2.25
ho = 3 + 2.25 = 5.25 ft Step 6: Determine the Do to be used in equation 10–9. Do=d+yo. Do is the distance from the drain tubing to the barrier. d = 3 ft yo = 2.25 ft (the same as that in step 5) Do = 3+2.25= 5.25 ft (the first try and all other iterations of this equation). Step 7: Determine the tubing spacing required to provide subirrigation using equation 10–9. The value of q during subirrigation is the ET rate, which in this example was 0.25 inch per day, or 0.0104 inch per hour. 1

Since this value 49.3 feet is less than a 1-foot difference from the previous step, use this value as the estimated design drain spacing. Again, this tube spacing of 49.3 feet is less than the ditch spacing of 55.1 feet because of flow convergence that occurs around drain tubes. 42. Boundary A-B: Along boundary A-B, water moves from the field under a 5 meter wide field access road to a drainage ditch on the other side. A drain tube is located immediately adjacent to the road so that good water table control is maintained right up to the field boundary.

This would be the seepage rate when ET = e = 0. Seepage losses are most critical during periods of high consumptive use (high ET by crop) because it is at this period that the highest supply rate is required. The seepage rate for a design ET value of e = 0.6 cm can be calculated as follows:

m3 =25 gal / min day
However, it should be noted that this is the flow rate from the first lateral toward the access road and the adjacent drainage ditch. Part of the water supplies the ET demand between the lateral and the ditch and should not be counted as seepage loss. The rate of water used in the 10-meter strip between the first lateral and the access road is:
Q= 0.006 ×10 × 800 = 48 m3 / day e Then:
QA− B = 137 − 48 = 89 m3 / day = 16 gal / min This includes water lost by seepage to the drainage ditch plus water lost by ET from the road surface (at an assumed rate of 0.6 cm/d) where grass, weeds, and other plants are growing. Note that the same result would have been obtained by evaluating the quantity h dh/dx from equation 10–12 at x = 10 m rather than at x = 0.

eBooks m3 q= Q= 88.8 = 16 gal / min A− B A− B day Seepage losses for e = 0 are greater than those for e=0.6 centimeters per day. This is because ET within the field lowers the water table elevation at the field edge, reducing the hydraulic gradient and seepage rates. Losses can be further reduced by moving the first lateral further away from the field boundary. This may mean sacrificing the quality of water table control near the edge of the field, but should be considered if seepage losses are excessive. 43. Boundary B–C: Seepage losses along the north boundary, B-C, are in response to gradients caused by water table drawdown by ET.
The relationship between maximum upward flux and water table depth indicate that, for a particular silt loam soil, an ET rate of 0.6 centimeters per day can be sustained with a water table depth below the root zone of 50 centimeters and a rate of 0.2 centimeters per day at a depth of 60 centimeters. Assuming an effective rooting depth of 60 centimeters (2 ft) and taking a conservative estimate of 60 centimeters for the water table depth below the root zone gives a total water table depth of 1.2 meters and h2 = 2.0–1.2 = 0.8 meters.

QB −C = 1600 × qB −C = 41 gal / min Seepage along B-C increases with the square root of e. This is in contrast to boundary A-B where seepage losses decrease with increasing e. A 25 percent increase in h2 to 1 meter still gives a seepage rate of 36 gallons per minute, a reduction of only 12 percent. 44. Boundary C–D: As in boundary B-C, seepage losses along C-D are caused by a lower water table in the adjacent nonirrigated field that was drawn down by ET.

− 1.12 × 2 × 0.006 = 0.112 m3 / m / day
However, part of this seepage supplies the ET demand for the region between the last tube and the field boundary and should not be considered as seepage loss. If the last drain tube is located 10 meters from the edge of the field, the portion of the above seepage used by ET within the irrigated field is:
q= 0.006 ×10 = 0.06 m3 / m / day e Therefore:
qC − D = 0.112 − 0.06 = 0.052 m3 / m / day And
QC − D = 0.052 × 800= 7.5 gal / min An alternative means of calculating this loss is to first determine S for which h = h2 = 1.1 m.
2 2 2 S= 18.6 m 1.5 − 1.1 = 0.006 Then determine qC-D from equation 10–40 with x=10 m:
qC − D = 0.052 m3 / m / day This is the same value obtained above. 45. Boundary A–D: Seepage under the road along boundary A-D can be estimated with K for the compacted road fill of 0.5 meters per day.

Deep borings and hydraulic conductivity tests using the piezometer method indicate the thickness of the restricting layer is 20 meters with an effective vertical hydraulic conductivity of Kv = 0.01 centimeters per hour.

The entire field with dimensions of 800 × 1600 meters has a vertical seepage rate of:
Qv = qv A = 0.000096 × 800 ×1600 = 22 gal / min Based on the previous calculations the total seepage losses are:
QT = QA− B + QB −C + QC − D + QA− D + Qv = 89 + 222 + 41 + 47 + 123 = 522 m3 / day Or
QT = 96 gal / min This amount of water must be supplied in addition to the irrigation water necessary to satisfy ET demand during the operation of the subsurface irrigation system. The calculations are based on a peak ET rate of 0.6 centimeters per day. Therefore, the capacity required to satisfy ET during periods of dry weather when the total demand must be satisfied by the subirrigation system is:
QET
0.6 × 800 × 1600 = 7680 = m3 / day 1400 gal / min 100
Or
QC = 7680 + 522 = 8200 m3 / day = 1500 gal / min Thus the seepage loss expressed as a percentage of the total capacity is:
Percentageloss =
522 ×100 = 6.4% 8200
This is quite reasonable compared to conventional methods of irrigation. 46. Determine drainage spacing using below information: yo=1.2 m Handbook of Drainage Engineering Problems Edited by: Mohammad Valipour

A time of concentration, tc, of 0.5 hr, an IA/P value of 0.10, and a type II storm distribution are assumed for convenience in all three subareas. The travel time applies to the reach for the corresponding area; therefore, the travel time in subarea 3 will apply to the tabular hydrographs routed from subareas 1 and 2. Find: The outlet hydrograph for a 150-mm (5.9 in) storm. Step 1: Calculate the retention for each of the subareas using the equation. SR = Ku (1000/CN - 10) with Ku = 25.4 Subarea 1: SR = 25.4 (1000/75 - 10) = 85 mm Subarea 2: SR = 25.4 (1000/65 - 10) = 137 mm Subarea 3: SR = 25.4 (1000/70 - 10) = 109 mm Step 2: Calculate the depth of runoff for each of the subareas using the equation. QD = [P - 0.2 (SR )] 2/ [P + 0.8 (SR )] Subarea 1: QD = [150 - 0.2 (85)] 2/[150 + 0.8 (85)] = 81 mm Subarea 2: QD = [150 - 0.2 (137)] 2/[150 + 0.8 (137)] = 58 mm Subarea 3: QD = [150 - 0.2 (109)] 2/[150 + 0.8 (109)] = 69 mm Step 3: Calculate ordinate values using Equation 3-21 q = qt A Q Multiply the appropriate tabular hydrograph values (qt ) by the subarea areas (A) and runoff depths (Q) and sum the values for each time to give the composite hydrograph at the end of subarea 3.

Step 3: To determine if T’ is within Sx1 and Sx2, compute the depth at point B in the V-shaped gutter knowing BC and Sx2. Then knowing the depth at B, the distance AB can be computed.
d B =BCS x 2 =0.6 × 0.04 =0.024 m AB =
d B 0.024 = = 0.096 m S x1 0.25
AC = AB + BC = 0.096 + 0.60 = 0.7 m 0.7 m < T’ therefore, spread falls outside V-shaped gutter section. An iterative solution technique must be used to solve for the section spread, T, as illustrated in the following steps. Step 4: Solve for the depth at point C, dc, and compute an initial estimate of the spread, TBD along BD,
d= d B − BC ( S x 2 ) c From the geometry of the triangle formed by the gutter, an initial estimate for dB is determined as:
( d B / 0.25) + ( d B / 0.04 ) =

This (2.57 m) is lower than the assumed value of 2.75 m. Therefore, assume TBD = 2.50 m and repeat Step 5 and Step 6. Step 5: 0.6 m at Sx2 (0.04) and 1.95 m at Sx3 (0.02):

Since “T” is outside Sx1 and Sx2 an iterative approach must be used to compute the spread.

Some assumptions must be made regarding the nature of the clogging in order to compute the capacity of a partially clogged grate. If the area of a grate is 50 percent covered by debris so that the debris-covered portion does not contribute to interception, the effective perimeter will be reduced by a lesser amount than 50 percent. For example, if a 0.6 m by 1.2 m (2 ft by 4 ft) grate is clogged so that the effective width is 0.3 m (1 ft), then the perimeter, P = 0.3 + 1.2 + 0.3 = 1.8 m (6 ft), rather than 2.31 m (7.66 ft), the total perimeter, or 1.2 m (4 ft), half of the total perimeter. The area of the opening would be reduced by 50 percent and the perimeter by 25 percent. Therefore, assuming 50 percent clogging along the length of the grate, a 1.2 m by 1.2 m (4 ft by 4 ft), 0.6 m by 1.8 m (2 ft by 6 ft), or a .9 m by 1.5 m (3 ft by 5 ft) grate would meet requirements of a 2.31 m (7.66 ft) perimeter 50 percent clogged.

eBooks Therefore, ok A double 0.6 m by 0.9 m (2 ft by 3 ft) grate 50 percent clogged is adequate to intercept the design storm flow at a spread which does not exceed design spread. However, the tendency of grate inlets to clog completely warrants consideration of a combination inlet or curb-opening inlet in a sag where ponding can occur, and flanking inlets in long flat vertical curves. 65. Given: Curb opening inlet in a sump location with L = 2.5 m (8.2 ft)
h = 0.13 m (0.43 ft)
(1) Undepressed curb opening Sx = 0.02

Step 1: Determine depth at curb.

Interception by the curb-opening only will be in a transition stage between weir and orifice flow with a depth at the curb of about 0.24 m (0.8 ft). Depth at the curb and spread on the pavement would be almost twice as great if the grate should become completely clogged. 67.

The Flow condition, orifice or weir, producing the lowest discharge for a given stage defines the controlling relationship. As illustrated in the above table, at a stage of 10.9 m (35.76 ft) weir Flow controls the discharge through the riser. However, at and above a stage of 11.0 m (36.09 ft), orifice Flow controls the discharge through the riser. 84.

Find: For average annual conditions determine if the facility will function as a retention facility with a permanent pool.

102
eBooks Runoff =CQD A =0.3 × 1.27 × 40.5 × 10000 =154305 m3 Step 2: The average annual evaporation is estimated to be:
Evaporation = Evaporation depth × Watershed area = 0.89 ×1.21 = 10769 m3 Step 3: The average annual infiltration is estimated as:
Infiltration = Infiltration rate × Time × Bottom area = 2.5 × 24 × 365 × 0.81
Infiltration = 177390 m3 Step 4: Neglecting basin outflow and assuming no change in storage, the runoff (or inflow) less evaporation and infiltration losses is:
Net Budget = 154305 − 10769 − 177390 = −33854 m3 Since the average annual losses exceed the average annual rainfall, the proposed facility will not function as a retention facility with a permanent pool. If the facility needs to function with a permanent pool, this can be accomplished by reducing the pool size as shown below. Step 5: Revise the pool surface area to be = 0.81 ha and bottom area = 0.40 ha Step 6: Recomputed the evaporation and infiltration
Evaporation = 0.89 × 0.81 = 7210 m3 Infiltration = 2.5 × 24 × 365 × 0.4 = 87600 m3 Step 7: Revised runoff less evaporation and infiltration losses is:
Net Budget= 154305 − 7210 − 87600= 59495 m3 The revised facility appears to have the capacity to function as a retention facility with a permanent pool. However, it must be recognized that these calculations are based on average precipitation, evaporation, and losses. During years of low rainfall, the pool may not be maintained. 86.

eBooks
Step 1: Determine the gradient m between drains. Using the DDR method, we assume that the water table at the midpoint between drains is at the surface. Therefore, m is equal to the drain depth of 4 feet. Step 2: Since this site has good surface drainage, the design drainage rate is 1.1 centimeters per day, which is 0.433 inch per day = .018 inch per hour. Step 3: Determine the equivalent hydraulic conductivity (Ke). Since flow occurs over the entire profile, the hydraulic conductivity is:
Ke
14 × 3.5 ) + ( 34 ×1.2 ) + ( 36 ×1.5 ) (= 14 + 34 + 36
1.71in / hr
Step 4:Determine the first estimate of the drain spacing needed for drainage using equation 10–5. As with the previous examples, de is needed. For the first calculation of Sd assume de is equal to d, which is 3 feet: 1

This is close enough to the previous value that no further iteration is necessary. Using the design drainage rate method, this is the spacing recommended for drainage alone. To determine the spacing for subirrigation requires one additional step. Step 9—Determine the fixed percentage of the design drainage rate. Since good surface drainage was provided, the fixed percentage is 0.63.
Using this method, the design spacing for subirrigation is 72.9 feet. This compares favorably with the design spacing of 80 feet actually determined for this problem using DRAINMOD. For comparison, the estimated spacing as determined by each shortcut method is shown in the table. Method
