Course Title: Stormwater Management Detention Basins.
Delivery Method: Live
Course Description: This 6.5 hour live lecture presentation examines the need for detention basins in stormwater management, stormwater hydrology, estimating runoff, detention basin design, and basin construction.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to describe the role of detention basins as part of a stormwater management strategy, and they will be able to discuss common hydrology principles.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to apply numerous methods to estimate stormwater runoff, which will determine the sizing of required detention basins.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to analyze available site and runoff data to design appropriate stormwater detention basins, which naturally treats stormwater.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to oversee the construction of stormwater detention basins to control erosion and sedimentation, and they will be able make operation and maintenance plans.
