Lesson 2 - Learn how to enter a Station Offset (also know as a Cross Section Survey) entry into the Waterway Design Tool. The lesson includes a description of the several different data entry methods available within the software.
The Waterway Design Tool (WDT) is used to design grassed lined waterways consistent with USDA NRCS national conservation practice standards Code 412 Grassed Waterway and Code 362 Diversions. Because WDT is integrated with the Survey Engineering Tool, designers can graphically view their design as they progress through its development. The design procedures used in the WDT are based on a tractive stress approach to channel stability described in the USDA, Agricultural Research Service, Agricultural Handbook 667, and also captured in the National Engineering Handbook, Engineering Field Manual, Chapter 7, Grassed Waterways.
This video training series is sponsored by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
