The volume presents results of tests conducted on slotted drain inlets. Tests were conducted to study the effect of individual parameters on the efficiency of slotted drains. Total flow capture tests were done at full scale for various roadway roughness, types of transverse spacer bars, slot widths, distances from curb to slot, and combinations of flow and slope conditions. Additional tests were conducted to investigate partial flow interception capacity, sheet flow interception capacity, interception capacity of slot in a sump condition, and relative debris handling ability of slotted drain in a sump condition and on a grade.
