1.1 IMPORTANCE OF WATER DRAINAGE
Water drainage as an elemental
part of Civil Engineering Construction plays an importance role which
makes it very significant when it comes to the act of practicing
maintenance culture.
To this end in every construction process,
drainage should be given due consideration. In residential buildings,
water drainage system is very importance so as to get rid of waste water
and storm water from the building and thereby preventing the building
from excessive dampness and by so doing providing good maintenance for
the building.
Aside the fact that drainage system in residential building prevents excessive dampness, it also prevents excessive flooding.
Another
area in construction where drainage system can highly be appreciated is
road and embankment construction. In road construction, water drainage
are primarily designed to prevent excessive flooding of the paved
surface thereby preventing wearing away of the surface and also make it
more accessible during and after storm.
In the light of all these
significant roles played by water drainage system, necessity has made it
mandatory for any existing structure or proposed structure to have a
water drainage system.
Resolving a water drainage system involves a
lot of activities especially where the water drainage is to control
excessive flooding or where it is to be designed for water logged area.
The designing water drainage system there is need to anticipate the
position of future structure erections so as not to hinder the aesthetic
nature of future construction process.
Another importance fact is
that for good effective water drainage system to be developed, there is
need to construct a filter along the drainage channels because of the
retention capacity of the soil within the campus area. The soil consist
mostly later tic clay which has the ability to retain water for a long
period of time. As this will be detrimental to the life span of the
water drainage channel to be constructed, it is that masonry lining for
the water drainage channels be constructed also.
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The
objectives of the study work shall cover all the vital aspect of the
drainage problems system. The first stage of this project work shall
include the reconnaissance survey of the area covered by the campus,
nothing the land scope and modal points ways, the effects of flood and
erosion more prevalent, the catchments area and tributaries of the
storms water that constitute the major part of the erosion and flood
because it is quite noticeable that during the raining seasons that most
of the road leading to campus and within the campus becomes
in-accessible for motorists and part of the building, lecture rooms are
highly flooded.
The next is to found out which type of the drainage system exists and the orientation, direction of the drainage channel.
Another
objective where the study is going to lover is the type of hydraulic
drainage design, the study shall also highlight the serviceability and
cost effectiveness of the method adopted that is to say whether the
design is made of press-stressed concrete or in-site concrete.
On the reasonable part of it, this study shall highlight more on the solution to this water drainage problems
