INTRODUCTION
Water is the most valuable natural resources essential for human and animal life,
industry and agriculture. The water can be in the form of ground water, surface water
(streams and rivers) or rain. Its presence is one of the reasons of life existence but despite
of the advantages water can give, it can also cause woe to the human life not due to
insufficient water but due to abundant water which in turn causes a natural disaster called
flood.
Floods are usually caused by intense storms that produce more runoff than an area
can store or a stream can carry within its normal channel, it often happen over flat or low-
lying areas. Most floods are relatively small, and are caused by storms that produce more
water than water ways can handle. Floods usually are events that can happen suddenly
and sometimes with little or no warning. One of the means developed by humans to
minimize flooding was through directing water to an outlet, hence, the drainage system.
flows or drains for carrying off excess water. A drainage system is designed that the
water flows away quickly, smoothly and is disposed off in a surface watercourse. To
prevent flooding, an efficient drainage system is therefore essential to allow water to flow

Schools adopt the drainage system in order to regulate the flow of water inside or
around property and convey water to a suitable outlet. Not considering an effective

efficient because during heavy rainfall, the water starts overflowing. Instead for the water
or the storm water to be drained through the catchments, the water tends to build up
quickly which causes flood. This problem brings hazard to students, teachers and staffs
upon entering and leaving the campus. The incompetent flow of water, the backflow from
the main drainage source and the capacity of the catchments are the failures of the
existing drainage system based on the study. To address the drainage problem is to
provide a good and sufficient drainage design and maintenance work to prevent flooding
The new drainage system is design to provide its objectives: to prevent flood, to
secure long time service and to have efficient drainage system. The design flows of water

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
particular drainage basin. They are governed by the topography of the land, whether a
particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land. The
civil or site engineer is responsible for drainage in construction projects. They set out
from the plans of all the roads, streets, gutters, drainage, culverts and sewers involved in
construction operations. The number, size, and shape of the drainage basins found in an
area vary and the larger the topographic map, the more information on the drainage basin
is available.
The latest proposed drainage system was designed by PLD Construction. It was
officially accepted and formally turned over to the CTU-MC (CSCST – MC). The design
in catch basins, culverts and manhole vary based on their calculations. The project cost
that includes the asphalting was Php 3,752,683.59 and was revised into Php
3,901,439.07. The duration is only 30 days plus 57 ext. days and it started on Feb. 26,
2007. It was completed on May 23, 2007 and this certifies that all approved plans,
specifications and other requirement which includes the materials, quality and quantity

Stage of Development
The first CTU – MC drainage system was first designed on 1911 since it was the
time the school was established. The latest improvement was prepared by Engr. Traces
and the contractor was PLD Construction on 2007. Due to developments and
volume of rain water during heavy downpour. Base on on-site observation, the failure of
the design is the catchment and culvert size it cannot hold and withstand the discharge
from one catchment to another. Based on our own observations and information gathered
about the real status of the latest drainage system, our team decided to make a study and a
proposal about the drainage system and how it can prevent flood from occurring. In this
In designing the drainage system plan, several data were involved. First is to solve
the total flow (𝑄) in which it requires the total land area (𝐴) = 28,988.53 𝑚2 , rainfall
intensity (𝑖) and the coefficient of run-off (𝑐). We assumed that 𝐶 = 0.90 and 𝑖 =
lying areas and for c is the asphaltic profile of CTU-MC). The computed value of the
total flow was 0.2174 m3/s. It is then used to design the size of the catch basin. The total
flow was divided into 30 units of CB (catch basins) that results to 0.00725 m3/s which is
the individual flow of the CB. Time of concentration (t) is to be solved by having the path
flow (L) and the surface velocity (v). By using L = 100 m (usual and average longest path
on plan) and v = 0.914 m/s (based on surface type), t will equal to 109.41 seconds.
5
After such calculations by multiplying the individual flow of CB and the time of
flow, volume of CB was solved this is equal to 0.8 mᵌ. Therefore, the resulting dimension
of the CB was 1m x 1m x 0.8m. In solving the diameter of the culvert, total flow will be
divided into 8 junctions/outfall of the CB which results to 0.0272 m3/s. By using the

presented. With the newly designed drainage system, the school’s environmental problem

Any existing drainage system patterns and soil cover should not be disturbed as
much as possible. Necessary changes in drainage pattern must not, in any manners bring
velocities that may create new erosion problems. Non-observance of this simple rule has
created many serious problems in the past. Road construction disrupts natural drainage
patterns. Water that is originally passing the right of way is often intercepted by road

show that almost drainage installation disturbs the balance of nature. Any change in the
land use may alter the historical run off or ungauged rural watershed which could be
Drainage Maintenance
The utilization of manpower is what makes the maintenance very costly. The type
and kind of maintenance required for the drainage included cleaning ditches, culverts,
and catch basins making them ready to accommodate coming flow of water, removal of
sediments and other debris gathered at trash rack or culvert and structure entrances, repair
of eroded channel and dikes and bank protection needs attention to prevent recurrence.

Montoya (1987:24) found out that water discharged from storm drainage system
was not directly attributed to precipitation. Sources of some of the water can be identified
and accounted from permit for permitted industrial wastewater that discharges to the
storm drainage system. However, most of the waste comes from other sources, including
15
illicit and or inappropriate entries to the storm drainage system. These entries can account
for significant amount of pollutants discharge from storm and domestic sewerage system
Waters from septic tanks are considered as entries to the storm drainage system.
In cities and large municipalities, Septic tank system discharges to storm drainage system
without treatment. The septic tank system discharges to storm drainage system without
treatment. The septic water contains micro pollutants and toxic substances that are
detrimental to human, especially when septic tank has a failure. The widespread failure
of septic tank system might necessitate the construction of a sanitary sewer to replace the
system.
In some urban areas, sanitary sewers are used to transport waters from septic tank
while sanitary sewers are connected to storm drainage. Connections of sanitary sewers to
the storm drainage system may be so widespread that the storm drainage system has to be
recognized as a combined sewer system. The storm drainage system operates to some
degree as a combined sewer system, because it is used to transport both domestic sewage
and storm water. It may be that the sanitary sewerage system is not capable of handling
the load that would imposed on it if a complete sewer separation program were
undertaken.

suitable location. A suitable location might be a catch basin, storm sewer, or pond. Storm
water drainage may never be piped into a sanitary sewer or plumbing system.
When you wish to size a storm-water drainage system, you must have some
benchmark information to work with. One consideration is the pitch of a horizontal pipe.
Another piece of the puzzle is the number of square feet of surface area your system will
be required to drain. You will also need data on the rainfall rates in your area.
When you use your codebook to size a storm-water system, you should have
access to all the key elements required to size the job except possibly for the local rainfall
amounts. You should be able to obtain rainfall figures from your state or county offices.
Your codebook should provide you with a table to use in making your sizing calculations.

A study of Perante (2001) entitled “Sewerage System in Tacloban City: Basis for
a Proposed Centralized Sewerage System” discussed about the existing sewerage system
in Tacloban City and how to develop a new system. Tacloban City experiences flooding
even at small rain and other associated environmental problems. This was because the
existing drainage system in Tacloban City doesn’t function according to its purpose.
Problems were encountered in the existing sewerage system such as the presence of solid
wastes on the sewerage canal, no monitoring and maintenance program and the people of
Tacloban were not aware of the purpose of the sewerage system. Highly felt problems by
the residents of Tacloban City were the solid wastes and its other forms being
indiscriminately discharged to the canals, and the lack of inspection and monitoring
programs for household sewer to the common sewer. Moderately felt problems

University of San Carlos - Talamban Campus has an existing drainage system but is
inadequate to convey the rainwater into its point of discharge. The main streamline,
which is the point of discharge, is also deficient to accommodate and convey the storm
water from the university sub catchment. The sizes of the sewer pipes the existing
drainage system use are insufficient. The flooding at the two gates of the university
during heavy downpour is the evidence of this deficiency and inadequacy. Based from
the findings of the study, the researcher has derived the following recommendations:
(a) Two drainage systems should be constructed separately in the service area.
(b) The man-made retarding dam and lagoon should be improved and maintained,
(c) The main streamline should also be corrected, which is the government’s
responsibility.

DESIGN
In the Rational Method, surface character of the service area must be satisfactorily
approximated. This is because the total rainfall that will reach the storm drain depends on
the surface character and the surface character determines the value of the runoff
coefficient.
Design Procedure
In the design analysis, the Rational Method was used. Four procedures
were followed, namely: (1) the determination of design discharge, (2) the determination
of the time of flow, (3) the determination of catch basin and manhole size, and (4) the

velocity, or 𝑇 = 𝑉
where:
51
L = length of pipe / culvert, m
V = velocity, m/s
After having the value of the time of flow, T and having the sufficient
numbers of catch basins the size of the catch basins was obtained by:
𝑉 = 𝑞𝑡
where:
t = time of flow
After calculating the volume of each catch basin, we can obtain its dimension by:
𝑉 = 𝐴𝑑
