Catchment Incr Q and Q CIA in the reports Known Q s are automatically added to overland flows Carryover and Bypassed Q s Q s for individual inlets are developed from two components The first is from the catchment s drainage area or runoff The second component is from excess flows or non captured flows from upstream inlets This non captured flow is called carryover It is called bypassed when an inlet cannot capture 100 and sends a portion of the total flow off site or to another specified target inlet Carryover and bypass flows are both non captured flows To an inlet carryover is an incoming flow and bypassed is an outgoing flow These flows are labeled as Q carryover and Q bypassed on the reports Note that lines with a manhole or no inlet will bypass all carryover flows to its downstream line 2015 Hydrology Studio Computational Methods 119 Gutter O bypassed Q carryover Top of curb Plan View of Inlet 5 4 1 Inlets in Sags An inlet in a sag or sump has no longitudinal slope i e the gutter slope equals zero In addition inlets in sags capture 100 of the flow and thus no bypass flow Note that Drop Curb inlets are always in a sag Inlets in sag locations operate as weirs under low head conditions and as orifices at greater depths Orifice flow begins at depths dependent on the grate size or the curb opening height At depths between those at which weir flow definitely prevails
