Design Of Stormwater Drainage System For Nuba Town

Abstract

Drainage as mean of disposal till recently has been largely a neglected a sect in the West Bank now. There is no storm water drainage system at present in the Nuba town. The storm water accumulates on the main streets as a result of heavy precipitation (running water). At the same time, the accelerated development and grow of Nuba town has led to change in the hydrological and geomorphological features. All of the areas of Nuba town do not have a natural drainage outlet. Heavy rain fall causes storm water to collect in low areas and flood streets and walk way. Rabid growth has decreased the open area available for percolation and rain water and has greatly increased the runoff to low lying areas. In view of this prevailing condition, the drainage system in Nuba town would have a new characteristic and development of new water drainage system is very necessary to drain excuse water from streets. This study is conducted to design a storm drainage system for the center of Nuba town.
