Advanced Stormwater Wetland Design
Date
Tuesday 28 September 2010
Time
8.45am – 5.00pm
Venue
Brisbane
Course Outline
This “hands on”, one-day course will build upon your existing knowledge and understanding of constructed stormwater wetland processes and design to aid you in developing solutions for a range of challenging site conditions, design objectives and poorly functioning wetland systems.
During the day you will actively learn through designing key components of a stormwater wetland as part of a multi-disciplinary design team guided by leading industry experts.
The course is presented by Dr Peter Breen and Malcom Eadie. Both Peter and Malcolm have vast experience in many aspects of WSUD, ranging from policy development to design and construction of WSUD infrastructure.
By the end of this course participants will:
- Be aware of the urban design principles that influence the design of stormwater wetlands.
- Have a strong understanding of the science behind wetlands and be able to apply this knowledge to appropriately design wetlands for stormwater management.
- Basic identification of different local native wetland plants and basic plant botany.
- Have an advanced understanding of botanic design required under different hydrologic regimes.
- Be able to use past experience and advanced knowledge of wetlands to design systems for a range of challenging site conditions and design objectives.
- Ability to apply advanced design knowledge and experience to adaptively manage existing wetlands.
Course content
- Refresher of wetland design
