Designing pipes for no flood criteria
Design pipes to meet no-flood criteria by setting the network design criteria.
Step-by-step:
For drainage designs to be valid in the UK, they first have to meet the no-surcharge criteria, and then they must meet the no-flood criteria. In this example, the no-surcharge criteria have already been met, so now, it is necessary to check the no flood criteria.
