Cost: $595.00 (includes class notes and software)
CEU’s: You will be eligible to receive 12 CEC hours to meet CFM requirements, and 1.6 CEU’s or 16 PDH’s toward P.E. license requirements for this course
What Will You Learn?
· Overview of Snyder, NRCS (SCS), CUHP, and Kinematic Wave (KW) methods for storm water modeling.
· Accuracy and consistency in stormwater modeling; how to effectively model without loss of accuracy.
· Selection of width parameter and Manning’s n for SWMM5.
· Calibrating SWMM5 and why this model needs to be calibrated.
· How to model urban conveyance/storage/diversion/pumps.
· Event-based watershed model and input and output analyses.
· Analyzing minimized directly connected impervious area (MDCIA) methodology using SWMM5.
· Continuous simulation model and frequency analysis.
· Water volume budget and monthly statistical analyses for long-term detention basin operation.
· Wetland sustainability and threshold analysis during drought season.
· Long-term overflow risk and runoff volume capture analyses for water quality basin operation
· Review of dynamic wave (DW) model option and its applications under backwater effects.
· Numerical tests and stability criteria for DW simulations.
· KW and DW watershed models using design storms and continuous simulation
· KW and DW storm sewer models using design storms and continuous simulation
Much of the above will be done by working on problems in a workshop format.
Prerequisites
Working knowledge of how to use SWMM at a very basic level. This class is intended to introduce the student to intermediate and some advanced uses of SWMM 5.0.
Instructors:
Lead Instructor: Prof. James C.Y Guo, PE, PhD
University of Colorado at Denver; Department of Civil Engineering
Assistant Instructor: Ben Urbonas, PE, D.WRE
Both have extensive experience in using earlier and current version of EPA SWMM and CUHP models in planning, system analysis and design projects.
Computers - bring your own if possible. Some will be provided.
Colorado is a great place to visit:
The ski season in Colorado typically starts in November and if you are a skier/snowboarder or would like to learn either of these, this is the time to be in Colorado. Mother Nature can be fickle and we cannot guarantee that you will find the best ski conditions when you are here, but with the help of snowmaking equipment, most areas will be open. Ski areas, resorts areas and mountain communities offer good deals in early through mid-December. There are many activities this time of year such as downhill and cross-country skiing, touring, wonderful scenery, hot springs, etc. The City of Denver and its metropolitan area also has many attractions and great restaurants as well. So, if you come and attend this class, you may want to extend your stay and take advantage of one of the most attractive areas in the country for little bit of R and R.
