PART B (Answer any one full question)

4. Design a tank surplus weir for a major tank connected with tank in series.
Field data:
Field data :
Combined catchment area of group of tanks = 15 km2
Intercepted catchment area = 22.8 km2
General ground level at proposed site = 15.8 m
Page 1 of 2
 Level at which good foundation soil is available = 14.0 m
Slope at the proposed surplus works from its
Centerline reaches 14.8 m in a distance of = 10 m
Construction details:
Full tank level = 17.5 m
Maximum water level = 18.3 m
Tank bund level = 19.5 m
Top width of bund = 2.2 m
Side slopes = 2: 1. Assume hydraulic co-eff = 1 in 5, Ryves co-eff = 9 25 M
Draw (a) half plan at top and half plan at bottom 20 M
(b) Half elevation and half sectional elevation 15 M
(c) Cross section across the weir 10 M
