Evaluation Of Detention Basins For Controlling Urban Runoff And Sedimentation, C. T. Haan, A. D. Ward
Evaluation Of Detention Basins For Controlling Urban Runoff And Sedimentation, C. T. Haan, A. D. Ward
KWRRI Research Reports
This report summarizes the work completed under the research project "Evaluation of Dentention Basins for Controlling Urban Runoff and Sedimentation." The main project accomplishments were:
(1) a demonstration of the desirability of considering systems of urban stormwater detention basins as opposed to individual basin design,
(2) the development of a systems analysis approach for least cost selection of a system of dentention basins for meeting a preset hydrologic objective,
(3) the development of a mathematical, computer-based simulation model of the performance of sediment retention basins,
(4) partial verification of the sediment basin model and
(5) the development of design recommendations …

Optimal Systems Of Storm Water Detention Basins In Urban Areas, D. K. Mynear, C. T. Haan
KWRRI Research Reports
Flood retention basins are commonly used in urban areas to reduce the impact of urbanization on downstream flooding. When more than a few acres are developed, systems of retention basins are often required. A procedure has been developed whereby the optimum (least cost) system of basins can be determined to meet a given downstream flow requirement. The method considers several design options including basins on all subwatersheds, basins on only some of the subwatersheds, basins of various sizes and basins with various stage-discharge characteristics. The procedure has been developed in the form of a computer program to aid the designer …
