Stormwater Best Management Practice Design: Basins
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides design guidance for basin or pond BMPs including dry detention basins, wet/retention ponds and infiltration basins.  The objectives are to create stormwater management BMPs that maximize the removal of pollutants and provide a certain measure of flood control.

 

The goals and objectives of best management practice (BMP) for stormwater management are as diverse as the situations to which they are applied.

 

This 8 PDH online course is applicable to civil and geotechnical engineers, site developers, and contractors as well as design and construction personnel involved with the planning and design of stormwater systems.
