Length: 45 pages

This course provides an overview of hydrologic methods commonly used in urban drainage design. Along with providing the required procedures, tables, graphs and equations, numerous sample problems are presented.

This course is relevant to municipal engineers, highway engineers, and consulting engineers serving private developers.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Calculate peak runoff using the Rational Method.
• Apply the USGS regression equations for urban and rural runoff.
• Calculate peak flow using the SCS method.
• Develop runoff hydrographs.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
