Study Area Description

Fig 3 shows the layout of a drainage system of a residential area. There are three subcatchments, four storm-water conduits, and four conduit junctions in it. Outlet nodes for subcatchments S-1, S-2 and S-3 are J-1, J-4 and J-5 respectively. After collection of stormwater from the system, water is finally drained to a stream at outfall O-1. The nearest and representative precipitation measuring gage for the system is RG-1.
