Brief Description
The practical Flood Hydrology and Urban Stormwater Modelling short course covers flood estimation methods and flood routing. The application of the theory, through practical exercises, will be undertaken. Flood estimation methods such as deterministic, empirical and statistical analysis will be applied in the exercises. The popular freeware software programme, EPA Storm Water Management Model (EPASWMM) will be demonstrated and used in the modelling of urban drainage systems. The EPASWMM software is a dynamic rainfall-runoff simulation model used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas. Delegates will be in a position to estimate the design flood and perform simulations of routing the flood through a stormwater system.
