Abstract:

A two-stage detention basin is an effective storm water management tool. This type of basin is designed to control two storm events and it will tend to perform better than a single-stage basin along the entire frequency curve. The design of a two-stage basin, however, is more difficult because of complex hydraulics in the outlet structure. A two-stage computer design model is presented. The down-stream impacts of a two-stage detention basin are illustrated.
