Sustainable Hydraulic System Design

This course applies the low-impact-development (LID) principles to design stormwater hydraulic structures in urban areas. The major topics in this course will cover storm water quality capture volume, filtering process for water quality control, and infiltration process for on-site stormwater disposal, including porous pavements, vegetation beds, bio swales, rain gardens, and landscaping detention. The computer model, EPA SWMM-LID, will be employed to guide the selection of design parameters and to evaluate the structural performance.
