Hydraulic Design of Storm Sewers
Storm sewers are the hidden workhorse of our infrastructure. They are designed to ensure our urbanized communities remain dry and maintain safety during extreme events. For this reason it is important that storm sewers are designed with special detail and care. This interactive online course will discuss the design of storm sewer systems and its two core theories, the conservation of mass and energy. A sample spreadsheet will be provided as part of the course to help practitioners in the design of storm sewers.
