RISEvapotranspiration in Rain Gardens Using Weighing Lysimeters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Groundwater Mounding at a Storm-Water Infiltration BMP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research presents an initial study of the impacts of storm-water infiltration on a shallow unconfined aquifer at a bioinfiltration best management practice (BMP) on the campus of Villanova University. The study site ...
Predictive Evapotranspiration Equations in Rain Gardens
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Current stormwater control measure (SCM) design often does not include the dynamic process of evapotranspiration (ET) for vegetated systems. This study compared two reference ET equations with a three-year data set from ...
Field-Scale Analysis of a Stormwater Infiltration Trench’s Failure Mechanisms
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Infiltration trenches are one type of stormwater control measure (SCM) that can help fulfill stormwater management requirements, especially in highly urban areas where open space is limited. Underground infiltration trenches ...
Modeling Seasonal Performance of Operational Urban Rain Garden Using HYDRUS-1D
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Accounting for seasonal effects on rain garden performance can be challenging in colder regions. Changes in temperature cause changes in the viscosity of water, infiltration rates, and evapotranspiration rates. A variably ...
Evapotranspiration Void Space Accounting Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Quantifying evapotranspiration (ET) and infiltration from vegetated stormwater control measures (SCMs), such as rain gardens, is necessary to physically represent their volume reduction potential. Most states and regulatory ...
Quantitative Analysis of the Water Budget of a Rain Garden in Pennsylvania
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stormwater control measures (SCMs), such as rain gardens, aim to restore the hydrologic cycle impacted by development. Development increases runoff and reduces infiltration, groundwater replenishment, and evapotranspiration ...
Feasibility Study of As-Received and Modified (Dried/Baked) Water Treatment Plant Residuals for Use in Storm-Water Control Measures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Use of water treatment plant residuals (WTRs) in storm-water control measures (SCMs) is a sustainable alternative to landfill disposal of WTRs. However, research is needed to determine how effective WTR-amended SCMs would ...
Nutrient Removal in Rain Garden Lysimeters with Different Soil Types
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rain gardens are increasingly used to control stormwater because they are effective at both volume removal and pollutant control. Nutrients carried in stormwater are a major concern for many watersheds because uncontrolled ...
Underperformance Assessment Framework for Bioinfiltration Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stormwater management practices (SMPs) are increasingly being implemented in urban environments to provide water quality and quantity benefits to municipalities. Bioinfiltration systems (e.g., rain gardens) are a ...
