4. Wastewater – Rainfall – Runoff – Drainage systems
Classification according to the type & level of pollution:
- Sanitary: indoor water used as human wastes vector (to carry wastes):
- Greywater: all indoor wastewater except organic matter contaminated water
- Black water: Organic matter contaminated water (toilet, bidet and, sometimes, kitchen sinks).
- Rainfalls:
- Rainwater got in roofs, balconies, terraces or other waterproof open spaces.
- Ground water infiltration – Ground drainage
- Traffic surfaces runoff (from rainfalls or cleaning)
- Others, with different quality water and quantity flows or streams
- Pools drainage (emptying)
- On-based water facilities drainage (emptying)

5. Wastewater – Rainfall – Runoff – Drainage systems
According to the classification, the architect can design different level of separated
networks:
- What local Sanitary Regulations (Main Lines) are there in the urban area?
- What level of harvest, reuse or reclaimed water are we going to manage according to the building design
and climatology conditions?
Before/Yesteryear (years ago): all together
Today/Currently: two separated network (indoor and rainfalls, this one with pools drainage included).
Not too distant Future: Different level of separated network according to the type of water-contamination
inside the building to treat it before to discharge to any of the two Main Line (indoor and rainfall network),
with the possibility to harvest and/or reuse them.

9. Network steps for buildings
1. Small indoor network (small diameter network: 32, 40, 50, 60 and, sometimes,
Ø80 mm.). Pipes connecting sanitary equipment (appliances) with indoor
collectors.
2. Indoor collector network (vertical and horizontal pipes (Ø110/125 mm.
minimum). Pipes connecting the small network with underground pipes
collectors.
3. Underground pipes collectors (Ø200 mm. minimum), connecting the indoor
collectors with the last manhole in the boundaries of the building plot.
4. Building collector (Ø300 mm. minimum), connecting the building sewer network
with the Local Main Line (pipe), normally through a sewer well (circular manhole).

22. Advise: when a pipe is more than 1.50 meters of length (never more then 2.50 m. in bathrooms and 2.00 m. in
kitchens), or its slope can not be 2% al least, the pipe must have one diameter size more. From the Syphon
pot to the vertical pipes recommend no more 1.00 meter.
Example: between a basin and a syphon pot we need a 32 mm. diameter pipe. But, if the length of this pipe is
more than 1.50 meters (never more than 2.50 m.), we choose a 40 mm. diameter pipe.

39. Remember !!!
We always need vertical collectors, except if the building is designed
with only a ground floor (and we have not primary ventilation).
To design horizontal collectors we need a ceiling, except in basement or
non nice ground floors spaces where aesthetic topics are not important.

45. Where and when do we need chambers/manholes?
- In the down end of each vertical pipe
- When you need no connect pipes from ground-floor wet-rooms
- In the end of each horizontal collector in ground-floor when there is
basement
- In the cross of two or more ground collectors (underground pipes
- Between two connected chamber when they are separated more than 20
meters
- When we need a check-point
- When we need to stop bad smells (septic odours), as meetings between
from floor drainage points and the sewage network.
- Before the end of the building sewage network, to stop the entrance of
pests (rats, mice, cockroaches, snakes, small crocodiles, etc.)
- In the end of the building sewage network, just before the final pipe
connection with the main line (street) through, or not, of a public sewer
well. This chamber should be registrable (accessible for a worker or
building owner)

72. Rainfall and Runoff drainage system
Two possibilities/options:
- Combined network, with the wastewater network, connecting
with indoor sewage collectors and same chambers.
- Separate network respect the sewage system, with own
collectors and own ground network (chambers and underground
pipes) and own last registrable chamber (60 x 60 cm.)

73. 1. Look for drainage point (at least, recommended one each 100 m² in flat surface ≤ 4%)
2. Design the slopes (flat and sloped roofs) and channels (sloped/inclined roof)
3. Connect with vertical (collector) pipes, and indoor horizontal collectors if they exist
4. Connect with chambers/manholes – underground network
5. Connect with the last registrable chamber/manhole, and this one with the main line
through a well (better) in the street or directly to the pipe (worse).

83. How to calculate pipe sizes? - Methodology
1. Design a roof. This is mandatory. It is impossible to calculate
the rainfall/runoff network if the roof is not designed correctly.
2. Design how many drain point do you have in the roof. Design
the full rainfall/runoff network until the public main line
(including chambers and manholes)
3. Calculate each surface roof for each drain point
4. Calculate the flow rate for each drain point according to the
expression (next slide).
5. Check the pipe vertical/stand pipe according to the flow rate in
the following tables (next slides).
6. Check horizontal underground pipes following tables (next
slides) and calculate chambers/manholes as the wastewater
network

84. How to calculate pipe sizes? - Methodology
Calculate the flow rate for each drain point according to the expression (next slide).
F = S x I x E/3000; where:
F = flow rate to discharge (l/sec.) in this roof drainage point.
S = Horizontal surface (m²) that discharges in that roof drainage point.
I = Rainfall Intensity (mm.) according to the place (maximum intensity precipitation in 1-hour/10 years-Return Period). For
all Saudi Arabia territory could be considered a maximum value of 80 mm/h. But, in a real project, the architect needs to
research about this topics, and get the correct date (see the map in the next slide).
E = Runoff Coefficient according to the type, material and roof slope (values between 0 and 1). See the table.

point.
S = Horizontal surface (m²) that discharges in that roof
drainage point.
I = Rainfall Intensity (mm.) depending on the place
(maximum intensity precipitation in 1-hour/10 years-
Return Period). For all Saudi Arabia territory could be
considered a maximum value of 80 mm/h. But, in a real

86. How to calculate pipe sizes? - Methodology
Check the pipe vertical/stand pipe according to the flow rate in the following table.
For example: a drainage that receives a 100 m² (horizontal surface) roof rainfalls, with a 4% slope and ceramic tiles
finished, in Riyadh.
F = S x I x E/3000 = 100 x 80 x 0.93/3000 = 2.48 l/s. Therefore, with Ø100 mm. (Ø110 min.) is enough.

89. EXAMPLE: Methodology
F.1 = S.1 x I x E/3000 = 100 x 80 x 0.93/3000 = 2.48 l/sec.
Vertical/stand pipe no. 1 = Ø100 mm.
F.2 = S.2 x I x E/3000 = 90 x 80 x 0.93/3000 = 2.23 l/sec.
Vertical/stand pipe no. 2 = Ø100 mm.
Recommended at least Ø110 mm. to avoid blockages and
plugging due to tree leaves, sand, dirt, snow, ice, etc.
F = S x I x E/3000; where:
F = flow rate to discharge (l/sec.) in this roof drainage point.
S = Horizontal surface (m²) that discharges in that roof drainage
point.
S.1 = 100 m²
S.2 = 90 m2
I = Rainfall Intensity (mm.) depending on the place (maximum
rainfalls in 1 hour/10 years-Return Period). For all Saudia Arabia
territory, we are going to consider a maximum value of 80
mm/h. But, in a real project, the architect needs to research
about this topics, and get the correct value.
E = Runoff Coefficient according to the type, material and roof
slope (0-1). Therefore, because it is a waterproof surface (tiles)
with a 5% slope, the value for E is 0.93.

F.2 = S.2 x I x E/3000 = 250 x 80 x 0.93/3000 = 6.20 l/sec.
