Urban stormwater management and the planning and design processes are becoming increasingly complex. This seminar will explore advanced topics of concern in the planning and design of modern stormwater management systems in urban areas.
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Consider advanced technical issues in design of stormwater management planning and design; and
- Employ design methodologies learned in the course on your next stormwater management and drainage project.
This seminar is the second of a series that will cover the complex topic of stormwater management. The complete series includes:
- Introduction to Stormwater Management and Modelling (September 22, 2020)
- Advanced Stormwater Management (October 6, 2020)
- Design of Stormwater Ponds (October 29, 2020)
- Urban Watershed Management (November 5, 2020)
Due to the complex nature of the topic there will be limited review of material presented in the other seminars.
This seminar will build upon the participant’s knowledge of stormwater management. Sample calculations with the application of climate data and pipe corrosion require the participant to bring a laptop computer with Excel and Environment Canada Data Explorer installed. The installation and user documentation for the Environment Canada IDF Google App can be downloaded from the website: climate.weather.gc.ca/prods_servs/engineering_e.html. Please note that this application requires that Google Earth Pro be installed on the computer.
