Event Description/Abstract

What’s the Deal with all These Hydrology Methods? | From the 5-acre site design to the 10-square-mile Letter of Map Revision, each has a lasting impact on your community. Do you really know all the different assumptions that can go into a hydrologic and hydraulic study? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the analysis or regulatory ordinance? As an engineer, a reviewer, or a public servant, we all take on a measure of liability. Isn’t it best to be fully aware of the assumptions behind the results?
