Stormwater Management for Non-Stormwater Engineers
After participating in this course, you will be able to:
- Solve common hydrology and hydraulic engineering problems
- Employ the latest techniques in hydrology and hydraulic design procedures
- Apply various analysis methods to estimate flows in rivers and drainage infrastructure
- Assess the design of streams and rivers, culverts, bridge openings, drainage facilities, and stormwater management structures
- Implement best practices for the maintenance and inspection of hydro-technical structures to ensure long-term functionality and compliance with regulatory standards
Description
Stormwater Management is a critical branch of engineering focused on understanding water behavior and protecting people and property from the adverse effects of surface water. This field addresses challenges such as flooding, erosion, and water quality issues, ensuring safety and environmental sustainability. Effective stormwater management not only mitigates the risks associated with heavy rainfall and runoff but also promotes the efficient use of water resources. By implementing innovative solutions and best practices, stormwater management contributes to the resilience and health of urban and natural environments.
This course is designed for non-engineers and technicians seeking a fundamental grasp of the three most commonly used branches of hydro-technical engineering:
- Engineering Hydrology
- Hydraulics of Drainage Infrastructure
- Drainage and Stormwater Management
We provide essential knowledge without involving complex mathematical formulas, making it accessible to a broad audience. Lectures feature real-life examples and incorporate simple hands-on exercises and problem-solving activities, allowing participants to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the skills needed to contribute to effective stormwater management in their communities.
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for engineers and technologists who are not familiar with hydrotechnical engineering, including civil, mechanical, electrical, mining, chemical, agricultural, and municipal engineers.
It is also suitable for manufacturers of drainage products, general contractors, property managers, directors of physical plants, municipal building officials, building inspectors, field review personnel, project engineers, and others who wish to gain more knowledge about hydrotechnical systems or need a refresher.
