Abstract: | There is a worldwide movement for coastal municipalities in developed countries to replace whole series of storm drains with far fewer storm-water outfalls that discharge well offshore. Such an extended-length pipe, passing into the surf zone along an exposed coastline, is far from easy to plan, support with data, design, install, and operate. This paper is intended to school drainage engineers in these matters. |
