EXPERIMENTAL CATCHAMENTS FOR URBAN DRAINAGE DESIGN

Four small experimental catchments have been established in Darwin to provide an improved data base for future urban drainage design. Using the criteria established for the design of flow measurement stations utilising flumes or weirs, this paper describes the selection process to determine the most appropriate location, size and type of measurement structure. Locating these structures within an established urban environment poses a number of problems and the final design is a matter of compromise between conflicting requirements. (Author/TRRL)
