Where Does Storm Water Go?
• Absorbed by the ground/vegetation
• Runoff– Waterway– Street– Neighbor
• Detained on site– Detention/retention pond– Underground storage
![Page 4: Storm Water Runoff](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681440d550346895db0aa65/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Site Development
• Includes improvements or changes to the site– Buildings– Pavement– Landscaping– Grading
• Typically, development increases runoff and decreases absorption of storm water
![Page 5: Storm Water Runoff](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681440d550346895db0aa65/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Storm Water Management
Regulations have evolved in order to– Protect the environment
• Water quality• Sedimentation (grading and erosion
control)– Protect property
• Reduce site runoff– Reduce impact on storm drainage systems
![Page 6: Storm Water Runoff](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681440d550346895db0aa65/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Watershed Characteristics Affecting Runoff
• Rainfall intensity
• Soil type
• Slope/topography
• Soil condition (compactness)
• Vegetation
![Page 7: Storm Water Runoff](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681440d550346895db0aa65/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Storm Water Management
• Many regulations dictate that the post-development runoff not exceed the pre-development runoff.
• To calculate the impact of development on storm water runoff, we must calculate the pre-development storm runoff and the post-development storm runoff.
• In general, the change in runoff (difference) must be retained/detained onsite such that the additional runoff is not routed to the existing storm water system.
• STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Rational Method
The Rational Formula
Q = C i A
Q = Peak runoff rate (cubic feet/sec)i = Rainfall intensity (inches/hour)A = Area in acresC = Runoff coefficient (dependent on surface type)
![Page 9: Storm Water Runoff](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681440d550346895db0aa65/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Rational Method
The Rational Formula (with recurrence adjustment)
Q = Cf C i A
Q = Peak runoff rate (cubic ft/sec)Cf = Runoff coefficient adjustment factorC = Runoff coefficient (dependent on type of surface)i = Storm intensity (in./hour)A = Area in acres

Storm Characteristics• Duration (minutes or hours) during which
rain falls in a single storm
• Depth (inches) of rainfall resulting from storm
• Intensity (inches per hour)
depthintensity =
duration
![Page 12: Storm Water Runoff](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5681440d550346895db0aa65/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Design Storm• Storm magnitude for which storm water
management facilities are designed
• Dictated by local regulations
• Described by return period and duration
• Return period – Average length of time between storms of a given duration and depth– 100 year storm has a 1 percent chance of
occurring in any given year– 10 year storm has a 10 percent chance of
occurring in any given year

Rainfall Intensity• Rainfall (storm)
intensity for a given design storm can be found from maps, tables, or charts.

Example
Suppose a developer purchased a 3-acre farm in Nashville, Tennessee. A 30,000 sq ft asphalt parking lot will be placed on the plot. Local regulations require that post-development runoff be limited to pre-development runoff for a 25 year, 1 hour rainfall.
Find the change in peak runoff (i.e., find the difference in the pre-development peak runoff and post-development peak runoff).

The engineer uses this information to create a storm water management plan. This plan would include:– Release rate not to exceed the peak pre-
development Q– Swales (ditches)– Storm water pipes– Storm water management facilities
• Retention/detention ponds• Bioretention areas
