CE5225 — Urban Stormwater Management
Students will learn how human activities, including urban development, impact the hydrological cycle and stormwater quantity & quality, learn stormwater permitting and discharge regulations, design green stormwater infrastructure and urban hydraulic structures, and apply hydrologic & hydraulic analysis and modeling tools to generate stormwater management plan in urban watersheds. The major topics to be covered in this course include rainfall analysis, urban runoff hydrology, runoff pollution, stormwater discharge regulations, introduction and application of EPA-SWMM 5 model, design of green stormwater infrastructure and urban hydraulic structures, and stormwater planning. The course content will include both current and future "state-of-practice" fundamentals in urban stormwater management with a focus on practical applications. This is the graduate student version of CE 4225. The two courses differ in that this CE 5225 course requires graduate students to conduct an additional literature review and report writing on one cutting-edge technologies in urban stormwater management (expressed in section 6-Course assessment, SLO 7).Credit will not be granted if credit already received for CE4225. Prerequisites: CE 3225 or EES 3203 or instructor consent or grad student
