URBAN DRAINAGE DESIGN MANUAL: HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING CIRCULAR NO. 22

This circular provides a comprehensive and practical guide for the design of storm drainage systems associated with transportation facilities. Design guidance is provided for the design of storm drainage systems which collect, convey, and discharge stormwater flowing within and along the highway right-of-way. Methods and procedures are given for the hydraulic design of storm drainage systems. Design methods are presented for evaluating rainfall and runoff magnitude, pavement drainage, gutter flow, inlet design, median and roadside ditch flow, structure design, and storm drain piping. Procedures for the design of retention facilities and stormwater pump stations are also presented, along with a review of urban water quality practices. A summary of related public domain computer programs is also provided.
