5.4 Sediment Handling measures: Methods of bed load and suspended load handling in RoR headworks, Design of settling basin (Particle and concentration approach), Estimation of sediment volume in Settling basin, Flushing of deposited sediment, estimation of frequency of flushing
With considering turbulent effect, design a settling basin to remove the sediment size greater than 0.3 mm diameter. Assume design discharge of the basin is 8 m³/s and trap efficiency as 90%. [8]
