Question 1
Given:
Total amount of water = 17 litres
Area = 1.27 m2
Time = 2 hrs 30 min
i) Needed: Average rainfall in mm/hr
Average rainfall= 17103
1.271042.5 =53.54 mm/ hr (Bonnin, 2010)
ii) Rainfall intensity for 5 minute duration
Given:
Total amount of water = 1.8 litres
Rainfallintensity = 1.8103
1.271045
60
=170.08 mm/ hr (Newby, 2015)
iii) Required: Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP)
Given:
Average Recurrence Interval ARI=50 years
Annual Exceedance Probability AEP= 1
ARI 100 % (Bonnin, 2011)
AEP= 1
50100 %=2%
iv) Required: Rainfall Intensity
Given:
ARI=20 years
5-minute duration
ln ( I ) =4.978+0.7533 ln 50.2796 ( ln 5 ) 2+0.0166 ( ln 5 ) 3
I =253.50 mm/hr
Question 2
Given:
Stormwater generated = 300 ML
Suspended solids = 12 mg/l
Amount of solids discharged = 2.16 tonnes
Needed: Reduction capacity

Given:
Capacity = 230 KW
Capital cost = $5500/KW
Interest rate = 3.8%
T = 25 years
Capacity factor = 0.72
