Description
This presentation is designed to calculate the storm water runoff of a 40 acre watershed on the campus of Johnson County Community College. By using valuable resources such as topographic maps, the rational method equation, runoff coefficient tables, rainfall intensity tables, photographic examples, and various spreadsheets, this project displays calculations for 3 different flow paths determining the peak discharge for a 50 year storm event on this watershed. It was designed to be user friendly and displays an easy to follow flow chart showcasing how these calculations are performed and the resources used to determine the total runoff expected from a 50 year storm event.
