Hydraulics Design Manual -02

The Hydraulics Design Manual, or HDM, provides policies, practices and procedures used by the Oregon Department of Transportation for the hydraulic design of highway facilities.

The HDM presents engineering information based on established ODOT practices for highway drainage projects. Sound engineering judgment remains a vital part in the process of applying the design criteria in this manual to individual projects.
