Author Description

A stormwater drainage design is mandatory for each civil engineering project from planning, design to construction. A drainage report is a written document describing how to handle the stormwater. A drainage report is both a technical and a legal document. To prepare a drainage report, certain guidelines, design standards, policies and manuals must be followed. A drainage report has to be approved by a jurisdictional authority before the approval of improvement and grading plans. Some local authorities have clear and complete guidelines to prepare a drainage report, and the others do not have a comprehensive one. One thing is common, all the review authorities have their requirements for a drainage report, but no one shows you how to prepare the drainage report. Stormwater Drainage Handbook shows you how to conduct a stormwater drainage study, prepare a drainage report, and guide you through the stormwater drainage design process.
