Using B.A.S to Optimize the 10th Street Detention Basin
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
Basin Analysis Software (B.A.S.) was developed for the complete design, analysis and optimization of side-weirs and flow-by retarding basins. B.A.S. utilizes the quasi-unsteady approach to calculate the hydraulics of the basin-channel system, including side-weir, channel, outlets, storm drain inlets and emergency spillway. Simplifications that typically produce sub-optimal and/or needlessly expensive design are no longer needed. The 10st Detention Basin in Phoenix, Arizona was analyzed using B.A.S. Next B.A.S. was used to optimize the system. The optimized system could significantly reduce land requirements as well as construction costs.
