Storm Water Runoff Design
Storm Water Runoff Design
(OP)
To whom it may concern,
I need to do an stormrwater runoff analysis of a 100 acre industrial site. The site currently discharges directly to waters of the US; however, the local water board is coming down on them and the facility needs to hold and or treat the runoff water. What method would you use to measure the runoff. The area has a large mix of surface types (grass, buildings, pavement, dirt, driveways). I remember doing a lot of studying of this in college but it has been a while. Would I use unit hydrograph method or something else. What about: V=CAR/12? Is the rational method (Q=CIA) good for anything? I am thinking I need a topographical survey of the site. Any advise would help. Thanks,

Reiterating what Terry, beej and gbam have said, first find out what the regulations are for the local water board or the governing entity of the stormwater in this area. Then, follow their regulations.
Good Luck!
