Development of methods and numerical models for computing surface runoff from developing watersheds; hydraulics of combined sewer systems; urban non-point source pollutant load calculations and best-management practices; control strategies for regional stormwater management; detention basin design for control of urban floods and non-point source pollutants.

• Apply simple models of urban runoff (including Rational formula, TR55, and various statistical procedures) for flood peak estimates and hydrograph generation.
• Understand the fundamental conservation principles (momentum and conservation) and apply them to one-dimensional flow in channel or pipe.
• Apply the kinematics approximation to overland and channel flow and obtain hydrographs by method of characteristics, rectangular finite differences (HEC-HMS), and non-linear reservoir methods (EPA SWMM5)
• Understand EPA SWMM5 model and apply it to urban drainage systems for analysis and conveyance and detention facilities.
• Design of storm water detention facilities for water quantity and quality control
• Selection and design of various BMPs for water quality control
