Stormwater Management for Land Development

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 a chapter that describes a design approach for detention facilities used for the control of multiple events. A procedure for sizing a multiple stage outlet structure converts the traditional trial and error process into an analytical solution that reduces guesswork on outlet sizing and invert locations. This is the first book written at this basic level, and is the first to be useful to the growing group of Professional Surveyors and Engineers developing stormwater management plans.
