Design And Construction of Urban Stormwater Management Systems: Asce Manuals And Reports on Engineering Practice No. 77 (Asce Manuals and Reports of Engineering Practice)

''Design and Construction of Urban Stormwater Management Systems'' (''Manual of Practice No. 77'') updates relevant portions of the ''ASCE/WPCF Manual of Practice No. 37'', ''Design and Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers''. This update is necessary due to the many changes taking place in the field, such as the use of microcomputers and the need to control the quality of runoff, as well as the quantity. In order to broaden the base of experience reflected in the Manual, each chapter was prepared by one or more authors with experience and expertise in the particular subject area. Thus, the Manual aids the practicing engineer by presenting a brief summary of currently accepted procedures relating to the following areas: financial services; regulations; surveys and investigations; design concepts and master planning; hydrology and water quality; storm drainage hydraulics; and computer modeling Ch. 1. Evolution Of Urban Stormwater Management -- Ch. 2. Financial, Legal, And Regulatory Concerns -- Ch. 3. Surveys And Investigations -- Ch. 4. Design Concepts And Master Planning -- Ch. 5.
