Oh, I see what you're talking about now. I've just always called it a collector box, and it will be used in this design.

The storage tanks are being built away from the building because there are plans to expand the building in the future. This situation would require aerial pipes to flow by gravity, which is not desired for aesthetic reasons. With the inverted siphon design, a washout will be installed at the...

We're actually using sheet metal gutters, which collect much better than PVC half-pipe gutters in addition to being cheaper. They're just a bit more challenging to install properly. The concern of this thread is the unique hydraulic aspects of this application, which are described in the above...

Thanks for the further input. The model is saying that flows from a light-medium rain will see a velocity of 1.9 ft/sec while a heavy rain should see flows of 4+ ft/sec. Coupled with inlet filters to keep out large debris and a washout at the bottom of the pipeline, could this be enough to...

@BigInch Thank you so much the thoughtful and thorough reply! I didn't expect one so quick! I'll provide some more information to address some of your concerns so that we can discuss them. I'm not at all married to this design, but I've made more considerations than I outlined in the...

Hello, I'm working on rural water supply with an NGO in SW Uganda and I have none of my engineering books with me and very limited internet access, so resources are very limited. Also, I haven't done much hydraulics since about 2004, so while it's in my head somewhere, I'm a bit rusty...
