The AHP Case Study
Welcome to the Agricultural Heritage Park Storm Water Wetland Design Case Study. This case study is literally a learning vehicle that allows students to interact with assignments on a whole new level. Students will also now be able to see the assignments from different courses in the context of a real world design problem. In order to complete all of the assignments in this case study you should have an understanding in the following topics:
-
Hydrology (Precipitation, Runoff, Infiltration, Evapotranspiration, Etc.)
-
Hydraulic Flow Behavior and Structure / Channel Design
-
Geospatial Information Systems (ArcGIS)
-
Ecological Systems Analysis (Energy and Mass Balance)
-
Watershed Modeling, Calibration and Validation
-
Site Layout, Grading, Drafting, Surface Analysis, Etc.
Auburn University's Ecological Engineering Curriculum covers each
of these topics in the following courses:
The two major contributing streams merging before entering the AHP pond.
Base flow during winter months at the inlet to the AHP Pond.
30" steel pipe discharging from AHP Pond to the downstream potential wetland area.
