Drainage System
A stormwater drainage system must be designed to collect and transmit the runoff
generated within a river basin during and after rainfall events, for a safe discharge into a
The storm drainage system must be sized according to the rainfall intensities, slope, and
roof areas of the building. Provision shall be made for the future installation of rainwater
collection system in compliance with R.A. No. 6716 ‘An Act Providing for the Construction of
Water Wells in all Barangays in the Philippines’. (DGCS 2015 Volume 6) In the project site,
a. Rainfall Intensity
Rainfall intensity is the amount of precipitation that falls off over time in a certain
catchment. When the water stays on the catchment, water layers will be formed, and the
depth can be measured and treated as the precipitation intensity on that catchment. It is
derived from the maximum rainfall for the design storm frequency and the time of
concentration.
b. Rational Method
The Rational Method is widely used to estimate the peak surface runoff rate for
design of a drainage structure. The method states that if a rainfall of intensity begins
instantaneously and continues indefinitely, the rate of runoff will increase until the time of
concentration, when the entire watershed is contributing to flow at the outlet. The product of
rainfall intensity and watershed area is the inflow rate of the system, and the ratio of this rate
c. Design Discharge
The value of discharge will be used in the Manning’s Equation for the
computation of the channel section. Design discharge calculation will be made by using
rational formula:
Q p=Ci A e
Where:
Q p- design discharge in cu. meter per second (m3/s)
C – runoff coefficient
I – rainfall intensity in m/s.
A – catchment area in square meters
According to Design Guidelines, Criteria & Standards Volume 3 (2015), Runoff coefficient
C is the least precise variable of the Rational Formula implying the fixed ratio of peak runoff rate
to rainfall rate for the catchment area. Table 8 provides the values of runoff coefficient for each
land use.
