Learn how to meet your stormwater management goals and objectives. In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of on-site storm drainage applications to solve the problems not fully addressed in texts or regulations. You also will become familiar with efficient development of systems to accomplish comprehensive stormwater management goals.
This course is an effective continuation of the renowned stormwater course developed and popularized by the late Dr. Rooney Malcom, P.E., professor emeritus of civil engineering at NC State University. Dr. Malcom and Everette Knight collaborated on the course for many years and Dr. Malcom’s vision of “back to basics” stormwater planning and design has been shared with thousands of stormwater professionals throughout the United States.
