Urban Drainage Issues

“How can drainage problems be identified?”

“Which problems should be addressed first?”

“What are the financing needs?”

“Most bang for the buck”

8

Background – Lincoln, Nebraska

• State Capital, second largest City in NE• Population 260,000• 82 square miles within City limits• 500 miles of public storm drain system• 230 miles of open channel system• 31,000 ancillary items

9

Background – CIP Prioritization

• Previous methodology developed in 1966• Based on out‐dated standards• Reactive approach

“Squeaky wheel gets the grease”

10

Project Objective

• Develop an updated prioritization methodology and a proactive CIP

• Identify  stormwater CIP projects

• Enhance the City’s stormwater database

“Reduce Flooding and Drainage Issues”

11

Prioritization Approach• Written Scoring

• Written Policy

• Engineering Judgment / Committee Review

12

Prioritization Methodology

• Prioritization Categories• Structural Flooding • Non‐Structural Flooding• Existing Infrastructure Condition• Miscellaneous Factors 

health and safety  critical locations  downstream impacts community development  links to other utility projects

13

Prioritization Methodology

Example Prioritization Worksheet

14

Previous Study Process

• Data Preparation / Data Collection

• Identify Deficiencies – MicroStation GeoPak Drainage– 1‐D, Rational Method, steady flow

• Propose Drainage Improvements

• Prioritize Projects

• GIS Coverage and Database– Imported from MicroStation

15

Application

• Studied 10,000 acres of watershed• 135 miles of pipe, 20,000 LF of open channel, 

5,000 ancillary items• Identified 150 CIP stormwater projects

– Dozens of projects proceeded to design/construction through funding from 2005‐2012 Stormwater bonds

16

Current Urban

Drainage Study

17

Current Study Process• Phase 1‐ Screening Level Analysis

– 1‐D, Rational Method, steady flow– Identify Storm System Deficiencies

• Pipe Capacity, Inlet Ponding Depths, Ponding Limits, Structural Flooding

– Update GIS Database

• Phase 2‐ Detailed Analysis and CIP Development– Optional 2‐D, unsteady flow– Develop CIP stormwater projects

• Evaluate conceptual alternatives

Conclusion

• Cost‐effective approach to prepare a proactive stormwater CIP

• Ensures taxpayers’ dollars spent on most needed projects 

• Helpful in justifying stormwater program financing needs to elected officials and public
