SDG Detail
ENVENG 701 : Urban Stormwater Management
Postgraduate courseProject description
Design and application of stormwater runoff quantity and quality control systems for urban development including: bioretention, living roofs, swales, permeable/porous pavement, detention ponds, and constructed wetlands. An independent project couples technical design, safety, maintenance, construction, hydrologic and water quality modelling, and stakeholder engagement in an application of "Low Impact Design" from the site to the catchment scale.
