Calculating Aqueduct Slope —
An aqueduct should be sloped so that
water travels less than 10 Feet per Minute.
After a heavy rainfall, the water traveled at
an approximate velocity of 1.72 Inches per
Second. Is the aqueduct sloped correctly?

FPM 8.6*
* Because 8.6 fpm is less than 10 fpm, the aque-
duct is sloped correctly.
