TABLE OF CONTENTS The fundamental concepts of hydraulics can be applied to both sanitary sewers and stormwater drainage systems. Conservation of mass, momentum, energy and other hydraulic characteristics of conduits are discussed in Chapter 4 and elsewhere (Metcalf and Eddy Inc. 1991, WEF and ASCE 1992). WEF and ASCE (1992) also provide the design guidelines for urban stormwater drainage systems, including system layout, sewer inlets, street and intersection, drainage ways (channels, culverts, bridges), erosion control facilities, check dams, energy dissipators, drop shaft, siphons, side-overflow weirs, flow splitters, junctions, flap gates, manholes, pumping, combined sewer systems, evaluation and mitigation of combined sewer overflows, stormwater impoundments, and stormwater management practices for water quality enhancement, etc.
