Because egg shape sewer inscribed of two sewers.
1 for sullage and 1 for drainage.
Since, dia of sullage sewer is 1/2 * (dia of drainage sewer).
Therefore, Accumulated Dia = D+0.5D = 1.5D.

The overall depth is = 1.5 times of the diameter of circular portion.i.e ( d=1.5D).

Top diameter = D.
Bottom diameter = D/2.

Total diameter = top diameter + bottom diameter.
= D + D/2 = 1.5D.

Top diameter is D or bottom diameter is 1.5 that's why 1.5 D.

Why the depth of sewer is 1.5D?

Ashish said:   10 years ago
Because top Dia-D and Bottom Dia D/2.

Hence total depth D+D/2 = 1.5 D.

Top dia=D,
Bottom dia=D/2,
So, total dia=D+D/2=1.5D.

But here asking for overall depth, not diameter please anyone explain it.

Yogesh said:   7 years ago
D+D/2.
2d+d/2.
3d/2 = 1.5D.

Yes, 1.5D is the correct answer.
