Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcome 1:
Learners will be able to review and select the right pre-treatment for a green infrastructure system, prevent erosion of vegetated swales, and identify low maintenance options for biorention systems.
Learning Outcome 2:
Learners will be able to use HydroCAD to model bioretention, perform cost-benefit analysis, and compare low impact development to traditional stormwater detention ponds in Texas.
Learning Outcome 3:
Learners will be able to explore ways to reduce a detention pond footprint, discuss bioswales and permeable pavement, and identify cost-effective solutions for low-cost maintenance.
Learning Outcome 4:
Learners will be able to compare underground detention systems and analyze the specifications and construction details, prevent failure and construction issues, and consider new innovative solutions.
