<br />Dr. W.H. Espey is a registered professional engineer in the State of Texas with over 40 years of engineering
<br />experience. During his career, Dr. Espey has specialized in the hydrology ofm-ban watersheds with respect to
<br />drainage, flood control, erosion control and water quality. He has served as a teacher and researcher at the
<br />University of Texas Hydraulic Engineering Lab, hydrologic data analyst for the USGS, engineer for TRACOR,
<br />president of Espey, Huston Associates, Inc. and is currently the president of Espey Consultants, Inc.
<br />
<br />Dr. Espey's association with the Central Texas area spans over forty (40) years. In his doctoral thesis, prepared in
<br />1965, concerning the hydrologic of small urban watersheds, he developed "Urban Unit Hydrograph Equations"
<br />which formed the basis for the Austin Drainage Criteria Manual-Austin Standard Method for flood determination.
<br />Dr. Espey's initial engineering experience was with the US Geological Survey (USGS) concerning both field data
<br />collection and record processing of the gaging stations in the Colorado basin. Dr. Espey was selected by the
<br />USGS to conduct an urban watershed study of Waller Creek watershed (Espey 1963, USGS Open File Report).
<br />This initial USGS urban watershed study on Waller Creek formed the basis of the subsequent Waller Creek urban
<br />study (A Study of Some Effects of Urbanization of Storm Runo(ffrom a Small Watershed), which was partially
<br />funded and published by the Texas Water Commission (lWC, July 1965). Subsequently, at the request of the
<br />ASCE (Urban Water Resources Research Program), urban unit hydrograph equations (ten minutes) were
<br />developed (ASCE, Espey, et al, July 1977). The urban unit hydrograph methodology has found application not
<br />only in the USA (Tucker, 1978, Per Com), but also in Australia (Mann, 1980). The Espey urban unit hydrol!f3.ph
<br />method has been further documented in textbooks and design manuals by A. Oshman Akan, Urban Stormwater
<br />Hydrology (1993); Bedient and Huber, HvdroloflV and Floodplain Analvsis (1989); Applied Hydrology.
