Throughout the course attendees will be shown practical working examples, learning hands-on how to use and apply different rainfall related design inputs, including:

Key concepts/topics covered

what has changed in the urban book of ARR
an intro to urban hydrology and how it differs
conveyance and volume control measures

Learning objectives

understanding on what has changed in urban hydrology between ARR 1987 and 2019
how modern storm water design uses conveyance and volume control measures and at different scales

Background

Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) is the national guideline document, data and software suite for the estimation of design flood characteristics in Australia.

Originally published in 1958 by Engineers Australia, ARR 4th edition was released in 2019 with support of the Commonwealth Government of Australia and Geoscience Australia. With national applicability, balancing the varied climates of Australia, it is a pivotal framework to the safety and sustainability of Australian infrastructure, communities and the environment. The information and the approaches presented in Australian Rainfall and Runoff are essential for policy decisions and projects involving:

infrastructure such as roads, rail, airports, bridges, dams, stormwater and sewer systems;
town planning;
mining;
developing flood management plans for urban and rural communities;
flood warnings and flood emergency management;
operation of regulated river systems; and
estimation of extreme flood levels.

ARR 4th edition is a major update to guidelines, the first in 30 years and consists of The Guidelines and associated Data hub and software.

What’s Included

The ARR On-demand Training Series is designed to be taken individually. Each course is highly practical and hands-on (ie; not simply a PowerPoint of lectures), turning ARR policy and research into practice.

To provide the best desired learning outcomes, setup in a quiet space with dual monitors (ie one screen with the session recordings and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously).

Please note: the courses are not designed for a board-room setup.

Depending on the course, attendees will be developing models, learning software, and working through exercises and case studies. Where relevant, attendees will also have homework between courses.

What’s included within each of the 8 On-demand courses in the series:

3-hours of session recordings to view as many times as required within the allocated time;
Ability to ask questions to the presenters at anytime through the learning platform;
PDF manual of the course. The manual is recommended for ongoing use;
Any working models/ software’s necessary as per instructions in the individual course, downloaded from the learning platform before starting the session recordings;
Some courses have exercises / homework to complete between courses;
Pre-reading and viewing materials;
Ability to access all the online course materials within the allocated time. The pre-readings and manual are available for ongoing learning;
Attendees earn CPD hours/points (ie with Engineers Australia) for at least 5 hours per-course (therefore 40+ hours for the Series).

Preparation

Pre-course reading and video watching is encouraged.

Requirements

A good internet connection and software and downloads as described in the learning platform. To provide the best desired learning outcomes, setup in a quiet space with dual monitors (ie one screen with the on-demand recording and the other with the software/exercise that attendees can work on simultaneously).

Outcome

On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation.
