Most designs of roads projects have limitations with drainage related issues. Especially,rntown section drainage design and provision needs a great consideration as the scale ofrndamage due to lack of proper drainage facilities provision is high.rnThis research paper is an assessment of drainage problems in Adama, section of thernNazareth-Assela road project, Ethiopia. Based on the site investigation, the design and thernavailable data of the area, the analysis has been done.rnThe design floods are estimated using SCS method per the requirement of Ethiopian RoadsrnAuthority Drainage Design Manual, 2013. The spread sheet program has been developed tornestimate the design flood using SCS method. The existing structures hydraulics data havernbeen modeled using Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System and HY8 Culvertrnanalysis to determine the capacity.rnThe results of the finding include: a) Inadequate structure provision which the hydraulicrncapacity of the crossing structures, being less than the design discharge b) Lack of properlyrndesigned side drains c) Lack of inlet/outlet protection works of the crossing structures d)rnGrowth of vegetation at inlet and outlet of the crossing structures and e) Siltation andrnblockage with sand and stone respectively of the crossing structures.rnIn this connection recommendations forwarded include: a) Due consideration, to be given tornimportant factors such as appropriate design method to be employed, variability of thernclimate and future settlement to be taken into account during the design of the drainagernfacilities b) Ensure that the drainage facilities are integrated with the master plan c) Ensurernthat if the town administration takes measure to keep the serviceability of the road, thernrehabilitation needs to be supplemented by the design and d) Continuous monitoring of therndrainage facilities.
