Abstract: This study develops an optimal design of a municipal water resource recovery facility (WRRF) to treat a high-nitrate industrial waste. The study demonstrated two basic results: first, that a numerical optimization scheme ...

Abstract: The substrate is the key component of a green roof system that directly influences the system’s stormwater mitigation performance; however, it is also identified as a potentially significant source of contaminants. It is ...

Abstract: A new method is proposed to compute prediction errors so as to not penalize models for good predictions with a temporal error. Traditional goodness of fit measures are based on model error calculated by pair-wise comparison ...

Abstract: Sensitivity analysis using

Abstract: Green roofs are implemented for providing urban ecosystem services like stormwater management, but they have also been identified as a potentially significant source of phosphorus in the runoff, which may cause concern for ...

Abstract: Green roofs are effective stormwater control measures for mitigating urban hydrology; however, their potential to manage nutrient discharges has not been consistently documented. Thirty-two pilot scale newly constructed ...

Abstract: Following an EPA recommendation many states switched to

Abstract: E. coli (EC) concentrations of the upstream boundary, tributaries, and stormwater in the lower Passaic River at Paterson, New Jersey, were modeled using multivariate polynomial regression (MPR). Baseflow indexes (BFIs) and ...

Abstract: A feasibility study was performed to remediate chromium-contaminated soil by cold top ex situ vitrification. This paper describes the initial conceptualization of the research demonstration and the results from the bench-scale ...
