ASCE/EWRI Standard 12-05 provides guidelines for the design of urban subsurface drainage systems, covering topics such as site analysis, system configuration, filters and envelopes, hydraulic and hydrology, structural considerations, and materials.

ASCE/EWRI Standard 13-05 presents guidelines for installation of urban subsurface drainage and discusses subjects such as site inspection, soil erosion, excavation, foundation preparation, and inspection of materials, equipment, and construction.

ASCE/EWRI 14-05 provides guidelines for operation and maintenance of urban subsurface drainage, topics includes: design criteria, maintenance procedures, safety, water quality, inspection, and rehabilitation. The standard presented in this volume, which have been completely revised and updated, were developed by the Urban Drainage Standards Committee, which is responsible to the Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) and ASCE. These standards are intended to compliment ASCE Manuals and Reports of Engineering Practice No.95, Urban Subsurface Drainage.
