Question
A local municipality is tasked with managing the sediment from its three streams originating from three different
catchments. The sediment generated for each catchment is shown below as well as the annual stream runoff for
each catchment. The municipality would like to install a sedimentation pond downstream of all three catchments
that requires cleaning every three months. Assuming that all the sediment settles in the pond, determine the size of
the pond (in m3
) making provision for an additional 10% of sediment in the event of flooding. The density of the
sediment is 1.2 tons/m3
