Question

Name the factor on which the design and size of sewage collection system depends

Answer 1

Estimation of Sewage Flowrate Two Parameters:

1. The contributing population, and

2. Per capita (per individual) flowrate of sewage Both of these amounts rely upon the design period Design period: The length of the time up to which the limit of a sewer will be satisfactory is known as a design period.

Typically design period for a sewerage system is considered as 30 years But, mechanical pivoting gear, for example, pumps are designed for a long time.
