Drainage Design Truly Understand What Year Event Really Means
...l the entire story. What does it really mean? Discussing drainage and flood issues with the general public and policymakers sometimes needs more than thinking just in terms of 'year event'. Its brevity in expression does not illustrate important considerations. One such is that the 100-year event has only a 63 chance of happening in 100 consecutive years yet can occur more than once in

Design of Roadside Channels with Flexible Linings Part 2
...
Roadside channels play an important role in the highway drainage system as the initial conveyance for highway runoff. Roadside channels capture sheet flow from the highway pavement and backslope and convey that runoff to larger channels or culverts within the drainage system. This initial concentration of runoff may create hydraulic conditions that are erosive to the soil that forms the
