Storm Drainage Criteria Manual

Storm Drainage Criteria Manual

The goals set forth for the preparation of the manual were:

1. To unify standards and improve the quality of drainage evaluation and design by providing specific and detailed criteria for the local communities.
2. To reduce the effort required to prepare and review drainage designs by simplifying the methodologies and procedures and by providing numerous worked examples.
3. To provide the necessary information to prepare and review a drainage design within a single document that is complete, organized, and easily referenced.
4. To provide a drainage evaluation and design criteria that will prevent future drainage problems and enhance the urban environment within the goals and objectives of the community.
