The hydraulic design of this stepped channelis based on the design procedure detailed in
the GEO Technical Guidance Note No. 27 (TGN 27) from the Geotechnical Engineering
Office, Civil Engineering and Development Department, The Government of the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region.

At Chainage 350.00, there is a steep gradient between C30 Wadi and the Culvert C1/7
upstream. This calculation is to design the stepped channel to convey storm flows from the
chainage 350.00 of C30 wadi to the Culvert C1/7 upstream.
C30 Wadi conveys flow from catchments C27, C28, C29, C31 & C32 and the adjacent
road surface runoff . Peak flows generated in the catchment are as follows

Average air concentration is correlated with channel gradient as follows:
Ce = 0.9 sin for 20 45
or Ce = 0.3265 sin + 0.4055 for 45 < 65

0.42
It is recommended to use f = 1.0 as
an order of magnitude of the friction
factor.
