Description: Analytical probabilistic urban stormwater models can be viewed as powerful applications of derived probability distribution theory in urban stormwater management practice. Simplified rainfall-runoff transformation functions provide computational efficiency and closed-form expressions make facile system optimization and sensitivity analyses. These merits make analytical models efficient tools for planning and screening level analyses in urban stormwater management. The value of analytical models is adequately demonstrated in this thesis through a practical, engineering example, the Maclean Avenue detention tank study, from the flexibility of the model derivation to the parameter testing and sensitivity analysis, to the system optimization and performance prediction. The consistency between the model prediction and observed data strengthens the reliability of the implementation of analytical models in practice.
