ABSTRACT

Design and Construction of Urban Stormwater Management

Systems (Manual of Practice No. 77) updates relevant portions

of the ASCE/WPCF Manual of Practice No. 37, Design and

Construction of Sanitary and Storm Sewers. This update is

necessary due to the many changes taking place in the field

such as the use of microcomputers and the need to control the

quality of runoff as well as the quantity. In order to broaden the

base of experience reflected in the Manual, each chapter was

prepared by one or more authors with experience and expertise

in the particular subject area. Thus, the Manual aids the

practicing engineer by presenting a brief summary of currently

accepted procedures relating to the following areas: 1) Financial

services; 2) regulations; 3) surveys and investigations; 4)

design concepts and master planning; 5) hydrology and water

quality; 6) storm draining hydraulics; and 7) computer modeling.
