Transcribed Image Text:A 100 m by 25 m detention pond is proposed for a 7.5 ha site. The detention pond is 2 m deep
under control, or pre-storm, conditions and the water-quality depth is 2 cm. Storage in the
detention pond is to be discharged off-site via a triangular weir whose vertex is a the control
elevation, and the flow rate over the weir in m³/s is Q = 0.08H². H is the height of the water
surface above the vertex of the weir in m. The average annual rainfall at the site is 120 cm, and
the average runoff coefficient is 0.75. Determine the evacuation time and the average detention
time in the pond.
