InfoDrainage Pond Design

Module overview

Calculate how much runoff is produced by the impermeable surfaces in a model, then design a pond as a stormwater control device. 

After completing this module, you'll be able to:

  • Calculate runoff amounts that help determine the size of stormwater objects
  • Design a pond stormwater object and connect it to the drainage network.
  • Plan for an emergency overflow, simulate the pond performance, and optimize the pond's design.
