A simplified stormwater management model has been created to provide an inexpensive, flexible tool for planning and preliminary sizing of stormwater facilities. The model delineates a methodology to be used in the management of stormwater and consists of a series of interrelated tasks that combine small computer programs and hand computations. The model successfully introduces time and probability into stormwater analysis, promotes total system consciousness on the part of the user, and assists in establishing size-effectiveness relationships for facilities.
