Geometric constraints used in the design come from some basic assumptions. The depth of the drain channel at the beginning of the flocculator is equal to one half the head loss at the end opposite end of the drain channel.
Another assumption is that the slope of the drain channel is equal to this head loss at the sedimentation tank end per unit length.
