Planning and Design of Drainage Systems
Drainage engineering concepts
Description
This course is structured into five sections with 16 lectures, each covering a specific topic related to drainage engineering.
The sections are as follows:
Section 1: Introduction
In this section, you will identify the main objectives and the structure of “Planning and Design of Drainage Systems” course. You will identify of drainage definition, major roles of land drainage, waterlogging definition, problems, causes and control.
Section 2: Master Plan and General Layout
In this section, you will learn about main components of a drainage system, identify of surface drainage definition, learn about the negative effects of poor surface drainage system, identify of classes of soil water and soil moisture content, how to determine the soil properties and how to measure of hydraulic conductivity.
Section 3: Design of drainage systems Spacing
In this section, you will learn how to calculate drain spacing for steady state and unsteady state flow. You will learn about the interceptor drains and how to determine the interceptor drains location.
Section 4: Hydraulic Design of Drainage Systems
In this section, you will learn about how to make a hydraulic design of open drainage system, how to design an open cross section using Manning equation. You will learn about the main elements must be determined for subsurface drainage system.
You will learn how to use Wesseling and Manning equations to design pipe for uniform and nonuniform flow, how to design the drainpipe line with increasing diameter. Learn about the materials for subsurface drainage, how to select of drainpipe and select an envelope and learn about the structures in pipe drain system.
Section 5: Soil Salinity and Land Reclamation
In this section, you will identify of salinity definition, problems and causes of soil salinity, identify of classification of salt affected soils. Learn about salt concentration and salt balance equation, how to determine leaching requirement and the drainage coefficient (q), Learn about the general principle of reclaiming saline soils.
