Stormwater Design AI
AI for stormwater management system design.
Definition
Stormwater Design AI assists civil engineers in designing stormwater management systems including detention basins, green infrastructure, and drainage networks. These systems can calculate runoff volumes, size detention facilities, design bioswales and rain gardens, and ensure designs meet local stormwater regulations.
In Depth
Stormwater design manages rainfall runoff from development — calculating peak flow rates, sizing conveyance systems (pipes, channels, swales), and designing storage facilities (detention basins, underground storage, green infrastructure). AI optimizes the stormwater system to meet the local stormwater ordinance requirements at minimum cost.
Examples
Sizing detention basins for peak flow reduction
Designing bioswale systems
