This course will help you understand the influence of rainfall, topography and land use in runoff calculations.
Description: Managing surface water can benefit society as a natural resource while mismanagement can result in damage and tragedy. Surface flows resulting from rainfall events are calculated using a variety of methodologies in the province of Ontario ranging from desktop methodologies to software models. The selection of the appropriate methodology for the specific watershed is the first step to ensuring a successful hydraulic design. Provincial and municipal infrastructure includes numerous hydraulic control structures whose purpose is to safely convey drainage to a suitable outlet. Often times a simplified approach is taken in the design of these hydraulic structures. A good understanding of the principles of open channel hydraulics ensures that hydraulic structures are suitably sized for the particular design scenario. This course provides an overview of methodologies available for estimating peak flows associated with surface runoff and considers the limitations and applicability of each method. The practitioner will use principles from open channel hydraulics to select the most applicable method to design infrastructure that will safely convey surface water to a suitable drainage outlet. Objective: To provide drainage practitioners with an advanced understanding in hydrologic methodologies and hydraulic design options so that they will have a comprehensive toolbox for working on a variety of drainage projects and hydraulic structures. Target audience: Municipal engineers, consulting engineers, water resource engineers, technologists and technicians responsible for the design and maintenance of hydraulic structures and surface drainage infrastructure. Agency staff responsible for drainage infrastructure design, maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement. After completing the course, participants will be able to: -Identify methodologies for calculating surface water runoff values.
