This course provides a comprehensive and practical guidance for the design of storm water drainage systems associated with transport facilities. The course material provides design guidance for the design of storm drainage systems which collect, convey, and discharge storm water flowing within and along the highway right-of-way. Various methods and procedures are described in the course for the hydraulic design of storm drainage systems, Design methods are presented for evaluating rainfall and runoff magnitude, pavement drainage, gutter flow, inlet design, median and roadside ditch flow, structure design, and storm drain piping. Procedures for the design of detention facilities are also presented, along with an overview of storm water pumping stations and urban water quality practices. This course material is based on Federal Highway Administration Publication Number FHWA-NHI-10-009: Urban Drainage Design Manual.

At the conclusion of this course, the learner will have a better understanding about the principles of urban drainage design as well as the following:

• Understands storm water system planning and assessment
• Knowledge of urban hydrologic design procedures
• Knowledge of pavement drainage facilities and maintenance
• Understands various channel flows and design parameters
• Knowledge of hydrologic structures and storm drains
• Knowledge of detention and retention facilities and pump stations
• Knowledge of best management practices and water quality practices
