    Uploaded by

    Michael Migwi Ngigi
    This document provides a table for sizing round culverts based on Talbot's formula for a 2.5-inch per hour rainfall. The table lists the required area in square feet for various numbers of impervious acres and site conditions including slope steepness, soil type, and land cover. It also notes that culverts larger than 48 inches are discouraged and that bridges, fords, or multiple culverts may be better solutions when larger sizes are required by the watershed area.

    bridges, fords, or multiple culverts may provide a more suitable crossing solution.
