Course Title: Stormwater Basins and Underground Systems

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: The primary goal of this course is to provide assistance to design professionals in selecting the appropriate stormwater storage system for their needs. The course begins by identifying stormwater regulations and discussing stormwater pollution prevention plans before discussing stormwater conveyance and detention. Then each type of storage system is discussed in detail: detention basins, retention basins, and infiltration basins. The course concludes with a review of sustainable best practices in stormwater detention/retention.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify and review stormwater regulations and be able assist with preparing stormwater pollution prevention plans.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to select the appropriate detention or retention basins by considering stormwater routing, sizing, design criteria, water quality, public safety and the necessary inlets, outlets, forebays and spillways.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to select the appropriate infiltration basin and discuss methods to enable and promote infiltration.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to identify and describe stormwater sustainable best practices, including rain gardens, naturalizing basins, and water reuse.
