Erosion Control and Stormwater Training: Webinars

New ways to get the training you need

Webinars are an effective way to educate your staff while further reducing the cost of training by eliminating instructor travel expenses. Often, the lead time for arranging this type of training is shorter than a traditional course.

Erosion Control has been practiced throughout the history of civilization, but the most rapid advances have taken place over the past 50-60 years. This course will examine in detail today's toolbox for permanent erosion control solutions. This session will focus on expanding the erosion control toolbox of all who participate.

Basic Hydrology: Part 1

Instructor: Donald (Don) W Lake, PE, CPESC, CPSWQ

Date: July 17th, 11:00 AM Mountain Time

PDH: One certificate is issued (to the registered participant), per paid registration.

Members: $50
Non-Members: $65

Knowledge of hydrology is essential for individuals interested in water quality and those involved with land use management activities including erosion and sediment control, designing and reviewing stormwater management plans, as well as local and state regulators and decision makers. This course will describe and discuss the factors that influence stormwater runoff and demonstrate the methodology and procedures to quantify runoff volumes. Precipitation, drainage areas, hydrologic soil groups, land use cover and hydrologic conditions will be explained, through a design example, to convert rainfall to runoff by using USDA-NRCS TR55 hydrologic analyses. Watershed runoff volumes will be calculated.

Basic Hydrology: Part 2

Instructor: Donald (Don) W Lake, PE, CPESC, CPSWQ

Date: August 21st, 11:00 AM Mountain Time

PDH: One certificate is issued (to the registered participant), per paid registration.

Members: $50
Non-Members: $65

This course will take participants through the evaluation and determination of the parameters for the time of concentration for a watershed and its application in determining the peak rate of runoff for different storm frequencies in the watershed. The USDA-NRCS unit hydrograph use will be explained and its use to calculate the peak discharge will be demonstrated through a design example. Comparison of pre-developed and post-developed discharges will be made for estimating stormwater detention basin sizing.
