What is the "C" value (Rational method) for a playground with a 3% grade and a 50 year design storm frequency?
Soln)
Where-
i = % Imperviousness
CA = Runoff coefficient for Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) HSG A soils
CB = Runoff coefficient for NRCS HSG B soils
CC/D = Runoff coefficient for NRCS HSG C and D soils.
For Playground i = 25%
i = 0.25
It is a
playgroung, considering Group C & D soil for 50yr Return
Period
CC/D = 0.49i+0.393
= 0.49 x 0.25 + 0.393
C = 0.515
