THE WALLINGFORD PROCEDURE FOR URBAN STORM DRAINAGE

The Wallingford procedure is a new tool to design and analyse urban storm drainage systems. In particular it can be used to assess the performance of an existing or designed sewer system for rainfall events rarer than the design event. The procedure therefore includes a method of simulating surcharging in the sewers and surface flooding. A brief description of the procedure is accompanied by a comparison with previous methods and a look at possible future benefits. (Author/TRRL)
