Low volume rural roads are perhaps the most crucial element of the transportation system of developing countries. While traffic on such roads generally amounts to just 5 to 10 vehicles per day and seldom as many as 400 (by definition), these roads are often the only link-up remote areas have to health and educational services, information sources, and marketplaces. This document is the third in a series of compendiums designed to assist project planners and technical and administrative personnel with the planning, design, construction and maintenance of low volume roads. This particular compendium focusses on small drainage structures for such roads. It contains eight technical reports, reprinted in full or excerpted, which present some information on general drainage design, but primarily provide technical information on the design and installation of culverts and associated structures.
