Abstract Sewer design in practice is of fundamental significance because the dimensions of sewer systems are specified. Two particular discharges are considered, namely, the minimum and the maximum discharges. The minimum discharge influences the channel slope and therefore the depositional behaviour, whereas the maximum discharge establishes the sewer dimensions. A design is flexible if the minimum and the maximum discharges are close. The circumstances however become more difficult for large differences between the two extreme discharges. At the end of this chapter, the optimum cross-sectional sewer shape is also discussed.
