Prince Edward Island Basic Stormwater Calculations Program
Basic Stormwater Calculations Program Overview
This course provides basic hydrologic and hydraulic equations used in site design, beginning with a conceptual small suburban site and designing a bioretention basin to manage runoff.
Intended Audience
- Hydrology Engineers and Personnel
- Municipalities
- Engineers
- Contractors
- Consultants
- Non-regulatory 3rd Party Inspectors
- Civil Consultants/Students
- Environmental Consultants/Students
- Landowners, Permittees, and Construction Site Operators
Curriculum: Intro to Basic Stormwater Calculations
This course consists of stormwater calculations associated with designing a bioretention basin for a suburban site.
Topics include the following:
- Conceptual design using a bioretention case study
- Calculating total storm volume,
- Calculating basin storage,
- Determining peak flow rates,
- Pipe sizing, and
- Basic bioretention design.
Learning Objectives
The main objective of this course is to provide you with an introduction to basic stormwater calculations associated with designing a bioretention basin for a suburban site.
- Demonstrate how to calculate total stormwater volume from a design storm (using the Simple Approach and the Curve Number Method).
- Describe peak flow rates and how to size for them (using the Rational Method and Manning’s Equation).
- List the basic considerations of bioretention sizing and design.
