Question

During the design storm, a detention basin receives a flow rate of 0.2 m3/s. Assuming a sediment specific gravity of 2.65, determine :a) the surface area needed to capture particles 0.10 mm in diameter and larger, and b) the resulting overall trapping efficiency of the basin given the sediment distribution listed below:

Size Range (mm)	Representative Diameter (mm)	Fractional Content
0.001-0.010	0.006	0.25
0.010-0.100	0.055	0.40
0.100-0.500	0.300	0.35
