![]() Watersed delineation, land cover/land use classification, hydrologic modeling, design storms, parameter sensitivity analysis, flood control measures, stormwater runoff treatment Prerequisites The course is divided into three sections that are described further on the next page. The knowledge and skills you will gain through this course can be applied anywhere, but in the learning activities you will focus on a specific location, the Wake Forest University (WFU) Campus. You will apply PCSWMM to delineate a watershed, develop land use/land cover maps, extract hydrologic parameters from these maps, parameterize and run the SWMM hydrologic model, size a stormwater detention pond, implement "green" stormwater controls, and analyze the present your results for alternative scenarios. In this module, you will use a standard industry software called PCSWMM to perform a pre/post-development analysis of a watershed and to design stormwater controls that can reduce runoff and improve water quality. Performing a pre and post development hydrologic analysis of a watershed provides metrics of watershed change that inform safe, sustainable, and economic engineering designs. Hydrologists and water resources engineers are tasked with assessing the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with development to provide recommendations on stormwater infrastructure designs. ![]() ![]() ![]() With increasing developement comes increasing impervious surfaces, and an increased amount of runoff from storm events.
