Training Course G: Flood Risk Assessments, Greenfield Runoff
and Unit Hydrographs
Flood Risk Assessment is rapidly becoming a pre-requisite for planning approval. The hydrology capabilities within WinDes® enable engineers to design systems that conform with the latest requirements for environmentally sound and sustainable development.
Who will benefit? Drainage and development control engineers within consultancies, EA, SEPA, Local and County Councils. A good practical knowledge of WinDes® is essential.
What will they learn? The requirements of the Interim Code of Practice for SUDS and important aspects of flood risk assessment are all covered by this course. Engineers will use WinDes® to keep site discharges within pre-development runoff limits and to ensure compliance with the statutory service levels for flood planning.
Key Topics The course covers the latest hydrology techniques, including:
Deriving Peak Flows from undeveloped & partly urbanised catchments
The application of complex controls to meet allowable discharge limits for new developments
Producing runoff hydrographs from undeveloped rural sites
Combining & analysing flows from urban & rural catchments, to comply with flood risk zoning
An overview of the theory and the statutory requirements are included in the course. Delegates will be guided through worked examples to illustrate the methodology, which include sites bounded by rivers and streams.
