Stormwater Management for Land Development – Methods and Calculations for Quantity Control : Methods and Calculations for Quantity Control

Starting from the basics, Stormwater Management for Land Development builds a thorough understanding of fluid dynamics and hydrology before presenting the reader with practical methods and designs to control and divert stormwater. It ends with an innovative chapter covering water quality issues and how they can influence the site design.

Introductory guide to hydraulics, hydrology, and stormwater management design Stormwater Management for Land Development is a unique, much-needed book on developing stormwater management plans that only requires readers to understand algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. Beginning with the fundamentals, it walks readers through the ABCs of fluid mechanics and hydrology and presents practical methods and designs to control stormwater. Useful to the growing group of professional surveyors and engineers who may not have taken fluid mechanics or hydrology courses, Stormwater Management for Land Development features: Sections on elementary fluid mechanics including statics, dynamics, and open channel flowSections on practical hydrology including design rainfall, travel time, and runoff methodsMaterial on NRCS/SCS unit hydrograph and TR-55 tabular hydrograph procedures, with reference to the latest WinTR-55 variantDesign methods for stormwater conveyance, including storm sewer, culvert, and open channel designsA detailed procedure for sizing and designing a multiple stage outlet structure for multiple event detention requirementsMore than seventy-five example problems illustrating fluid flow and hydrology calculation methodsReview problems at the end of most chapters With more than 150 helpful illustrations, Stormwater Management for Land Development is the most comprehensive, basic guide to hydraulics, hydrology, and stormwater management design methods for quantity control.
