To design and size storm water management devices, such as grassed swales, drainage pipes, and detention storage ponds, it is first necessary to estimate the rates and volumes of runoff that must be handled. The science of hydrology, which deals with precipitation and runoff, includes a number of models that help predict the runoff to be used as input to the design procedures. This course discusses the Rational method and Modified Rational method for designing and sizing of management systems, and provides examples of how these methods may be applied.
