A sewer regulator is equipped with a Cipolletti weir (U.S.B.R. standard trapezoidal weir) to control combined sewer overflow (figure below). The design criteria for the regulator is to accommodate a peak combined sewer overflow flow rate to the outfall of up to 0.85 m³/sec. If the weir crest is 2m from the invert of the regulator, what is the weir length if the regulator is designed to prevent flooding of a nearby basement with a floor that is 2.35 m above the regulator invert?
