Minimum elevation of the siphon discharge invert above the<br />

lateral inverts must be 2.2 ft.<br />

In summary, the final network design consists of five 40-ft laterals l-<br />

l/2 in. in diameter connected with a 36-ft end manifold 3-in. in dia-<br />

meter, with the inlet from the dosing chamber at one end of the mani-<br />

fold. The inverts of the laterals are perforated with l/4-in. holes<br />

spaced every 30 in.<br />
