A MULTICRITERION PHILOSOPHY FOR STORM-WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
Detention structures, a primary method for controlling the effects of urban development, are intended to control several adverse impacts (flooding, channel erosion, and water quality), but are designed on the basis of a single design variable: peak discharge. Peak discharge is not always an effective design variable. Control of the T-year peak discharge does not necessarily control downstream erosion rates or water-quality loads that have a T-year exceedance frequency. Over- or undercontrol may result. Alternative design variables and design methods are discussed here.
