Queensland Urban Drainage Manual 

QUDM is designed to be used with other design manuals for floodplain management, total water cycle management, water sensitive urban design, and natural channel design. It should be applied appropriately to local conditions.

​

The Fourth edition of the Queensland Urban Drainage Manual (QUDM) assists council engineers and stormwater designers in the planning, design and management of urban stormwater drainage systems.

 

QUDM addresses the technical, legal, regulatory and environmental aspects of effective drainage systems. It provides details of appropriate design methods and computational procedures, and covers both hydrologic and hydraulic procedures.
