Bayesian Chemical Mass Balance Method for Surface Water Contaminant Source Apportionment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Bayesian chemical mass balance (CMB) source apportionment method is developed using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach. Compared with deterministic approaches, the Bayesian method is capable of accounting for ...
Measured and Predicted Herbicide Removal by Mulch
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The removal of the herbicides diuron, isoxaben, oryzalin, and clopyralid by shredded cedar mulch was studied in laboratory batch and column experiments. The distribution coefficients
Modeling Fate and Transport of Roadside-Applied Herbicides
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A physically based, one-dimensional, mathematical model is developed to simulate transport of herbicides applied to roadsides into adjacent surface water. Herbicide transport by overland flow, infiltrating water, and ...
Modeling and Design Scenario Analysis of Long-Term Monitored Bioretention System for Rainfall-Runoff Reduction to Combined Sewer in Cincinnati, OH
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Green infrastructure (GI) is a contemporary approach to the management of stormwater and limits its intrusion into wastewater collection systems. GI practices, such as bioretention systems, affect the local water cycle by ...
Storm Water Pollution Source Identification in Washington, DC, Using Bayesian Chemical Mass Balance Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A Bayesian chemical mass balance (CMB) model was used to identify the sources of heavy metals in a highly urbanized area at the vicinity of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC. This method uses the elemental profiles of ...
