Hydrology Done Right

Description

We spend billions of dollars a year on stormwater management and yet we are still using stormwater design methods developed before the invention of computers.  Does that make any sense?  Discover a better, more accurate way to model stormwater and design stormwater facilities. This course discusses single-event hydrology, the assumptions involved in that methodology, why these assumptions are not appropriate, and the problems that result in using these simplified methods.  This course presents a better way to model hydrology and design stormwater facilities.  This better way is continuous simulation hydrology, a methodology that has been around since the 1960s, but only today is finally being widely used with the availability of fast, cheap computers, and easy-to-use interactive Windows-based modeling software. This course will educate the stormwater engineer to the availability of better, more accurate hydrologic computational methods and the benefits of learning this technology.
