DEVELOPMENTS IN SEWERAGE - 1. CHAPTER 3. SURFACE WATER RUN-PFF

This chapter gives an account of the development and use of the TRRL hydrograph method of storm sewer design. It commences with a brief description of the research that led to the development in 1963 of the method for UK conditions and explains how it is used for practical design cases. The chapter then proceeds to outline the further development of the method for use in tropical conditions, based on research carred out in east Africa, the principal difference being that allowance is made for run-off from unpaved areas. Reference is made to a comparison of this design method with others. (TRRL)
