Total Area for one Inlet Atotal 37.60 m2 Atotal=Q/V

Let the No. of inlets N 2

Area of one Inlet Ainlet 18.8 m2

Let the Ht of Inlet H 3 m

Hence Width of Inlet W 6.27 m

Say W 6.3 m

Total area for one Inlet Aone inlet 18.9 m2

No. of inlets N 2.0 OK N=Atotal/Aone inlet

Hence the Size of inlet:

Ht of Inlet H 3 m

Width of Inlet W 6.3 m

Discharge in the Inlet Qinlet 56.4 Cumecs Qinlet=Qdesign /2

Vinlet=Qinlet/Aone
Velocity in one inlet=Q/A Vinlet 2.98 m/sec inlet

River Bed Level R.B.L 2090 m

Dead storage level D.S.L 2099 m

Transition zone level=Min.
operating level Min.O.L 2106 m
Top
Intake level (Top level) 2102.30 m level=M.O.L-S

Say Intake level (Top level) 2102.00 m

Hence Invert level of inlet be 2099.00 m
