Storm-water Network Design –New Updates
On Monday, Nov. 16th, 2015, Prof. Abdulkareem Al-Kaabi presented a seminar titled “Storm-water Network Design –New Updates,” in KUST Showroom. Prof. Al-Kaabi is a visiting professor in Civil Engineering Department at Concordia University in Canada. He has published 42 research papers.
In this seminar, Prof. Al-Kaabi explained that urban heat island and urbanization have influenced the occurrence of rain fall in two directions; the former is increasing runoff discharge and the latter is decreasing time to peak. In addition, the steps to include these influences in the design of storm sewer network have been illustrated in this seminar. This seminar was one of the series of soft skills seminars, organized by the President Office of KUST.
