BACKGROUND

Chittagong is the second largest city of Bangladesh. As

it is one of the largest port city of Bangladesh, it is
very important to have a proper and modern drainage
system for the maximum welfare and prosperity of the
city.
It is also have a great attraction for tourism. Every
years many tourists come to visit here. Poor drainage
system is responsible for decreasing the beauty of city.
During the rainy season it is often over flooded all over
the city and creates severe water logging.
Transportation system is very much affected for poor
drainage system.

STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
Inefficient drainage system causes various
problems which are very harmful for human
health and environment
The main problems are listed below:

Siltation in most drains.

Vegetation in some drains.
Various wastes obstruct the flow of drain.
The covers of drain are not available in all
places.

OBJECTIVES

To observe the existing condition of drainage system of

the road.
To find out the problems which are responsible for
inefficient drainage system.
To fix up the problems and find out the solution.
To provide efficient drainage network system

SCOPE

Data collection.
Prevent water logging
Properly dispose of storm water.
Prevent environmental pollution such as stopping
breeding of mosquitoes, odor and nuisance etc.
Improve hygiene condition of people.
Make a convenient way for pedestrian passing nearby.

METHODOLOGY

FORMULAS WE USED

Total discharge, Q = Runoff from rainfall + Domestic

and Public use + Tidal effect
Runoff from rainfall ,
Q = CIA
Q = runoff
C = coefficient representing ratio of runoff to rainfall
I = intensity of rainfall
A = drainage area
[M. Firoze Ahmed,2000]

The Manning equation is as follows:

Q = AV

Here ,V = (1/n)*R2/3 *S1/2

Where,

V = Velocity
A =Area of section of drain
n = Manning co-efficient of channel roughness
R = Hydraulic radius,
S = Longitudinal slope
[Van Te Chow,1959]

From the previous equation we assume a value of

width of the drain and then we can get the depth
of flow. We find the exact value of depth by trial
and error method.

Free board, F = (CY)

Here,
C = co efficient (1.5 for Q < 20cfs,
2.5 for Q > 20cfs)
Y = Flow depth in feet
[Van Te Chow,1959]

CONCLUSION

In our project work, tidal effect does not

considered because the elevation in our study
area is enough high from the maximum sea
water rise in tide period.
In our design, we do not consider silting.
We designed the drainage network that whole
discharge from high elevation point flows to the 2
no. gate as there is the lower elevation.
We connected our drainage network to 2 no. gate.
Then it goes to Muradpur drainage network
which ultimately dispose in Mirza khal.

RECOMMENDATION

The drains should be cleaned as early as possible

which are filled with silt and blocked the drain.
We recommend to construct a silt trap at some
critical point or where there is a possibility of
overflow.
The drains are to be covered so that people can
not throw various wastes into the drains.

Public awareness can be raised about cleanliness.

Proper maintenance should be taken.
