Summary
A historical and technical foundation for the engineering of systems that manage rain and runoff. It traces the evolution of drainage from ancient civilizations like those in Mesopotamia, Crete, and Rome to the sophisticated computer modeling used by modern municipalities. Beyond historical context, the text defines essential hydrologic principles, such as the water cycle and the specific impact of urbanization on natural landscapes. It details fundamental mathematical tools like Manning’s Formula and the Rational Method used to calculate water flow and velocity. Finally, the material outlines modern infrastructure components, focusing on detention and retention facilities designed to control flood volume and protect water quality.
