of the parking lot, directing storm water toward the edges, where it is
intercepted by catch basins positioned at the curb.
Figure 14.13-a
In this photograph one can see how the
creation of a warped, paved surface can effectively collect
and direct water to a catch basin
Figure 14.13- B
The arrows in this photograph show the
direction that surface water is made to flow across paved
parking lot surfaces

Figure 14.13- C
The catch basin noted as item A in the
photograph receives surface water flow from multiple
directions
Figure 14.13- d
The pavement in a campus quadrangle
has been subdivided into multiple mini-watersheds. A
catch basin has been positioned at the lowest elevation
and the center of each watershed.
Four examples of the use of catch basins are shown in Figures 14.13-A
through 14.13-D. The area in each example is graded to act as a watershed,
as shown in Figure 14.3-D, or graded in a series of warped paved surfaces
