Course description
In Green Stormwater: Low Impact Design - Managing Stormwater Through Infiltration, you'll learn ...
- General guidelines and testing methods to determine soil infiltration rate
- Typical infiltration rates for different soil types
- Guidelines for site evaluation to determine if infiltration is feasible
- Advantages/disadvantages for infiltration-based stormwater methods
Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 41 pages
This course discusses the advantages and suitability of designing stormwater using four low impact development (LID) technologies including infiltration basins, infiltration trenches, bioretention areas, and porous pavement/recharge beds. Extensive discussion of site constraints, including soil infiltration capacity, are examined for use in determining if infiltration systems are feasible for a site. Design guidelines, cost information, construction issues, maintenance requirements, and performance studies are presented for each type of system to enable the engineer to evaluate the suitability for these systems for a project.
This course is relevant for consulting and municipal engineers involved in the planning, design, and/or review of projects where stormwater infiltration practices can be considered.
