Abstract

This is a physical poster presentation only with no intention for full paper presentation to 2025 ASEE PSW conference. This poster focuses on the application of cases study of fundamentals of before and after urbanization effects on the peak runoff rate and infiltration rate before and after urbanization. Local examples of flooding retention pond facilities immediately on and around XXXXX University XXXXX and XXXX XXXXX University campuses and regional large scale reservoirs including TARP (Tunnel And Reservoir Plan) around the greater Chicago areas are resorted to help students understand and appreciate the great importance of hydrologic engineering in any civil and engineering program. With the urbanization and subdivision development, it is recommended that the backyard swimming pool construction be regulated especially in those flooding prone zone areas. Understanding of surface water hydrology is highlighted as it is closely tied to any civil, geotechnical, construction and transportation engineering as well as real property development and investment.
