Stormwater Management Hydraulics And Hydrology II

Hours: 100 / Access Length: 12 Months / Delivery: Online, Self-Paced
Retail Price: $1,250.00

Course Overview:

In the past stormwater was annoying. Today, it is viewed as a beneficial resource with the ability to return to its natural path-ways through distributed controls. This course highlights the Manning’s Equation, Channel, Pipe, and Stream flow. It describes varied flow in channels, culvert hydraulics, fundamental hydrology, and provide necessary calculations for runoff.  Participants will explore designs for storm sewer, culvert, and detention, and explain stormwater detention.

Prerequisite: The student needs to complete the Stormwater I & II, and Stormwater Management: Hydraulics and Hydrology – Part I courses before taking the Stormwater Management: Hydraulics and Hydrology – Part II course.

About This Course:

We are committed to offering world class interactive online courses that provide training and learning support for the student in a number of ways during their experience. This course structure has been developed to provide activities to guide students throughout the entire process of learning. Learning activities include hands-on assignments that allow students to use what they are learning to allow better transferable skills within their work environments.

When a student learns, they are not alone.   Each student will be supported by our student services department – which ranges from course mentors, registrar, and technical support assistance.   Every month students have a progress report run on them every month by our student services department to ensure they are making satisfactory progress.   If a student falls behind, we reach out to them personally by phone call every month to see if there is anything we can do to continue to assist them with moving forward in their course.

Certification(s):

After the completion of the Stormwater I & II and Stormwater Management Hydraulics and Hydrology Part I & II courses, the student will be prepared to take the American Public Works Association (APWA) Certified Stormwater Manager (CSM) certification exam.

To demonstrate eligibility, candidates must submit an application documenting the completion of one of the following education and work experience pathways:

• High school graduation or equivalent and 7 years of relevant work experience
• Associate’s degree or equivalent trade school certificate and 5 years of relevant work experience
• Bachelor’s degree and 3 years of relevant work experience
• Master’s degree and 2 years of relevant work experience
• Doctoral degree and 1 year of relevant work experience

Relevant work experience is that performed within or for a public entity in one or more aspects of stormwater management as defined in the CSM target audience description and illustrated in the CSM Content Outline.

Please note that the individual state requirements may vary.  Students will be responsible to check with their state’s governing body for state specific requirements.
