Stormwater Drainage System Design - Book Recommendation
Stormwater Drainage System Design - Book Recommendation
(OP)
I would like to find/buy a book that has all the steps necessary to design an efficient drainage system for a commercial, industrial or residential site, from start to finish: how to calculate pervious and impervious areas, runoff, where to locate drainage structures, sizing of structures and pipes, etc.
It would be better if it is just one book that covers it all but if not a combination of books would be ok. I would appreciate any recommendations, thank you.

If you work for an engineering firm, know someone who does, you might benefit from studing copies of actual stormwater design reports/briefs.

I've been designing drainage systems for years and am impressed that this book brings together so many different topics, and provides enough depth to apply the information.

Hydrology, Water Quantity and Quality Control by Wanielista, Kersten and Eaglin. The latter comes with software called SMADA which includes many useful utility programs and hydrograph calculation. Both excellent books.
Good luck.
