Stormwater Management for Land Development is a unique book on hydrologic and hydraulic methods for developing stormwater management plans that only requires readers to understand algebra, trigonometry, and geometry. Beginning with the fundamentals, it walks readers through the ABCs of fluid mechanics and hydrology and presents practical methods and designs to control stormwater runoff. Useful to surveyors, engineers, and land development planners who may not have taken fluid mechanics or hydrology courses, this book features: * Sections on elementary fluid mechanics including statics, dynamics, and open channel flow * Sections on practical stormwater hydrology including design rainfall, travel time, and runoff methods * Material on the NRCS/SCS dimensionless unit hydrograph, tabular hydrograph, and WinTR-55 hydrograph procedures. * Design methods for stormwater conveyance including storm sewer, culvert and open channel designs * A detailed procedure for designing a multiple-stage outlet structure for multiple event detention requirements * More than ninety example problems illustrating fluid flow and hydrology calculation methods * More than 170 review problems at the end the chapters With more than 150 helpful illustrations, STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FOR LAND DEVELOPMENT is a comprehensive yet basic guide to hydraulics, hydrology, and methods for the analysis and design related to quantity control of stormwater runoff. Thomas A. Seybert, PhD, PE, is Professor Emeritus of Engineering in the Surveying Engineering program at The Pennsylvania State University, Wilkes-Barre Campus. He has over thirty years of experience in teaching engineering students at the college level and also professional land surveyors, engineers and land development planners through continuing education courses at Penn State. He has also taught stormwater workshops for the Pennsylvania Society of Land Surveyors for over twenty five years.

The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

This comprehensive text focuses on how to develop raw land into marketable residential lots and homes, offering practical and proven techniques to manage land development operations and the process of regulating, debating, designing, and building residential neighborhoods. A successful management process of developing land on time and within budget is outlined in detail. The extensive reports and methods described are useful day-to-day management tools for the land development industry. Topics include cost estimating, conceptual design planning, approval strategies, the land development bid process, project management, and operational procedures. Also covered are preparing design documents, obtaining bids of equal comparison, implementing a project plan in the field, budget constraints controls, and understanding the best interest of the home buyer.

An essential addition to the landscape design library Nature devises ingenious systems for the management and delivery of water in all its phases. No additional infrastructure is required—the water systems are in place, naturally. But once the natural environment has been disrupted by human development, stormwater becomes an issue that requires intervention and ongoing management. Sustainable Stormwater Management, by leading expert Tom Liptan, provides landscape students and professionals with a green approach to landscape design. The hardworking book includes comprehensive information on how to design, install, and maintain a landscape for sustainable stormwater management. It addresses stormwater in the urban environment, relevant environmental and economic policies, and shares case studies of exemplary projects from around the world.
