This course provides engineers with a comprehensive overview of the principles, regulations, and best practices for the design, operation, and maintenance of stormwater ponds in Florida. Participants will examine the hydraulic and environmental functions of stormwater management systems, design considerations for wet detention and retention ponds, and the regulatory requirements established by Florida agencies and local jurisdictions.

The course also covers inspection procedures, maintenance planning, common failure mechanisms, water quality performance, erosion control, sediment management, and strategies for extending the service life of stormwater facilities. Through practical examples and real-world applications, engineers will gain the knowledge necessary to design compliant stormwater systems and develop effective long-term maintenance programs that protect public safety and Florida’s water resources.
