Hydrology and Hydraulic Design Tools
Hydrology and Hydraulic Design Tools
Hydrology and Hydraulic Design information are critical to the design of Culverts, Low-Water Crossings, and Bridges. Information includes methods to determine design flows and flow velocities; ways to protect streambanks and structures against erosion and scour; use of riprap, gabions, and vegetation revetments; use of filters; and applications of geosynthetics for drainage, filtration, stabilization, reinforcement, and other design aspects of low-volume roads.
