DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED ROAD DRAINAGE SYSTEMS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF IRRIGATION ENGINEERING PRACTICE AND ECOLOGY CASE STUDY: REVA UNIVERSITY CIRCLE JUNCTION TO NAGAWARA CIRCLE

The contributed runoff water thus need to be safely disposed to the rivers/outlet channels so that the functional utility of the road infrastructure maintained and thereby avoid the damages which otherwise occurred to the road and property. Adequate drainage is very essential in the design of highways since it affects the highway's serviceability and usable life. If ponding on the traveled way occurs, hydroplaning becomes an important safety concern. Drainage design involves providing facilities that collect, transport and remove storm water from the highway. Storm water in urban areas was traditionally managed by designed sewer systems for the prevention of the collection of excess water on urban surfaces and the reduction of risk to people, health, property, society and the natural and built environment. The objectives of this study was to study of road network geometry, Rainfall data, Drainage system network, collection point for drainage water & used same for ecology development and irrigation engineering practice purpose. Case study was conducted for the road network from REVA University circle junction to Nagawara circle from June 2016 to march 2017. Data collected was then be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Analyzed data is presented in tables. it was found that the existing road drainage network is not effectively enough to collect effectively for the aimed purposes. It was also found that an integrated drainage network section of 2m x 3m is required. This will help us to come out of water crisis.
