Stream Erosion Potential and Stormwater Management Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrologic and sediment transport modeling were used to examine the effectiveness of typical stormwater management policies in reducing the potential for stream-channel erosion. Two bedload functions and three total-load ...
Half-Yield Discharge: Process-Based Predictor of Bankfull Discharge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Low-Flow Trends at Southeast United States Streamflow Gauges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water management and infrastructure design depend on quantifying thresholds in minimum flows. Decreasing trends in low flows have been observed at many stream gauges in the Southeast US; however, a comprehensive quantitative ...
Effects of Design and Climate on Bioretention Effectiveness for Watershed-Scale Hydrologic Benefits
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Bioretention areas are a common form of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). There is significant research on the performance of individual bioretention cells, but the watershed-scale benefits of GSI are still unclear. ...
Are Best-Management-Practice Criteria Really Environmentally Friendly?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the 1990's, a number of best management practices (BMPs) manuals have been developed that address the control of urban runoff to protect receiving water quality. More recently, several papers have investigated the ...
