Beaver Creek Tributary 3 Stormwater Analysis  

 
Location: Dothan, Alabama  
Client: City of Dothan  
   
The City of Dothan’s initiated a study of an 850 acre urbanized drainage basin, which included industrial, institutional, commercial, agricultural, and residential developments within the basin, as well as undeveloped property. The purpose of the study was to identify drainage problem areas within the basin and to recommend improvements in order to alleviate known and potential flooding situations. The stormwater basin was modeled using Pond Pack Version 8 software (Haestad Methods) and included many existing detention ponds, channels, culverts and three large ponds, each having different and multiple outlet structures. The entire basin had to be modeled from its upper reaches to its lower discharge point so that any recommended improvements would not create additional problems downstream.
