Stormwater Systems Explained: From Ancient Drains to Modern Hydraulic Models

Описание: In this episode of the Engineer’s Workshop Podcast 🎙️, we dive into the Stormwater Collection Systems Design Handbook and explore the evolution of drainage infrastructure—from ancient Roman streets in Pompeii 🏛️ to modern, EPA-regulated stormwater systems 🌧️.

Whether you're a civil engineer, MEP designer, or water infrastructure planner, this episode covers critical concepts, including:

✅ Open channel hydraulics: specific energy, momentum & uniform flow
🔁 Rainfall-runoff relationships and design frequency methods
🌊 Culverts, detention basins, and flow transitions
🧠 Hydraulic modeling tools like HEC-RAS and SWMM
🧪 Pollution control, TMDL studies & stormwater permitting
🏙️ Urbanization and the rise of impervious surfaces (DCIA)
📦 Subsurface vs surface collection systems for flood control

This episode is ideal for professionals in drainage design, water resources, and urban development.
