APERÇU
After participating in this course, you will be able to do the following:
- solve common hydrology and hydraulic engineering problems
- employ latest techniques in hydrology and hydraulic design procedures
- apply various analysis methods to estimate flows in rivers and drainage infrastructure
- assess the design of streams and rivers, culverts, bridge openings, drainage facilities, and stormwater management structures
Description
Stormwater Management is a branch of engineering concerned with the study of water and the protection of people and property from the damaging effect of surface water.
The course was prepared for non-engineers and technicians who need a basic understanding of the three most commonly used branches of hydrotechnical engineering:
- Engineering hydrology
- Hydraulics of drainage infrastructure
- Drainage and stormwater management
This course provides the fundamentals without delving into complicated mathematical formulas. Lectures will include real-life examples and simple hands-on exercises and problem-solving.
Course Outline:
- Day 1- Hydrology and Hydraulics
- Introduction - Engineering Concepts
- Hydrologic Cycle
- Simplifications for ease of assessment
- River and Open Channel Hydraulics
- Hydraulic Structures
- Day 2- Land Drainage and Stormwater Management
- Why do we need stormwater management?
- Review of stormwater best management practices & role of stormwater management
- Drainage Design and Stormwater Management
Who Should Attend
Engineers and technologists not familiar with hydrotechnical engineering, such as:
- civil engineers
- mechanical engineers
- electrical engineers
- mining engineers
- chemical engineers
- agricultural engineers
- municipal engineers
- manufacturers of drainage products
- general contractors
- property managers
- directors of physical plants
- municipal building officials
- building inspectors

- others who would like to know more about hydrotechnical systems or require a refresher
Requirements and Special Features
Participants are expected to have some elementary technical knowledge of engineering principles.
Notes will be provided in electronic format. Please have a standard engineering calculator with scientific functions, a laptop with Microsoft Windows, MS Excel spreadsheet, or equivalent. The course includes a comprehensive list of reference material available on the internet from government & non-government organizations.
10:00 am to 6:00 pm Eastern (Will include the usual breaks)

FORMATEUR

Nav Sandhu, P.Eng., is a Senior Water Resources Engineer with 20 years of experience.
He has extensive experience in stormwater management and drainage planning and design throughout Canada, ranging from servicing /planning studies to detailed design of complex systems. His stormwater infrastructure design experience includes storm sewer systems, culverts, above and below-ground detention and water quality facilities, diversion structures, control and outfall structures, infiltration systems, rip-rap protection works, and instream rehabilitation works. He’s also experienced in base-flow augmentation, source control/rainwater management and other LID systems-relatively new techniques that support sustainable design.
His stormwater engineering knowledge, municipal development, and highway experience make him an excellent resource for a range of clients. He has also provided expert opinions and reports on legal proceedings related to drainage throughout BC.
