Seminar

Urban stormwater management and the planning and design processes are becoming increasingly complex. Computer models are replacing the once common analytic practices. This seminar will provide an introduction to the details of analytical techniques and computer model data requirements. The seminar is intended to provide practitioners with the knowledge to help bridge the gap from the rational method into complex computer modelling. As well, it will appeal to those engineers working in urban infrastructure planning and design and the land development industry.

The topics to be covered include:

• The evolution of computer model techniques
• Rainfall data and design storms
• Runoff calculations and model parameters
• Hydraulic modelling and model parameters
• Model calibration and verification process
• Planning versus detailed design
• Continuous modelling and its application
• Water quality modelling and its limitations
