Advanced Methods for the Selection of Urban Runoff Design Storms
Urban runoff design storm selection has in the past been arbitrary at times. This has led to inadequate and unreliable capacity design of urban runoff structures. By utilizing a continuous urban runoff digital computer model, the frequency response of selected urban basins to a selected historical …
