Modeling Tools for Stormwater Management
There is an ever-growing and ever-improving suite of modeling tools available to civil engineers that can be used for design and analysis of stormwater infrastructure. These range from simple, focused tools that streamline basic calculations, to robust models that solve multi-dimensional numerical flow equations. Some tools provide either hydrologic or hydraulic calculations separately, or both…

This blog highlights how Heath Wadsworth, a Stormwater Engineer at Gradient, guided this green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) project from concept through to construction. Heath was responsible for planning, design, and construction support, ensuring successful project delivery. At Gradient, we take pride in delivering well-designed and well-constructed stormwater solutions. This visual journey shows how a stormwater…
Read MoreHow Socio-Economic Factors Impact Water Quality Swales: Key Insights for Sustainable Stormwater Management
This blog is based on the research paper by Gradient NC’s VP, Director of Innovation, Sujit Ekka. Stormwater management plays a vital role in protecting water bodies from pollution and maintaining ecological balance. One of the key stormwater control measures is the water quality swale—a green infrastructure element designed to filter and manage runoff effectively.…
