Waikato stormwater runoff modelling guideline
TR 2018/02
Report: TR 2018/02
Author: Earl Shaver (Aqua Terra International Limited)
About this report
This is one of two guidelines that address stormwater management:
- Waikato stormwater management guideline (TR2018/01) and
- Waikato stormwater runoff modelling guideline (TR2018/02).
The Waikato Stormwater Runoff Modelling Guideline is based on Auckland Council’s Technical Publication 108 (TP108) Guidelines for stormwater runoff modelling in the Auckland region (Auckland Regional Council, 1999) and replaces use of this guideline in the Waikato region.
