Comparison of Maintenance Cost, Labor Demands, and System Performance for LID and Conventional Stormwater Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The perception of the maintenance demands of low impact development (LID) systems represents a significant barrier to the acceptance of LID technologies. Despite the increasing use of LID over the past two decades, stormwater ...
Water Quality and Hydrologic Performance of a Porous Asphalt Pavement as a Storm-Water Treatment Strategy in a Cold Climate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study examined the functionality of a porous pavement storm-water management system in coastal New Hampshire where 6 months of subfreezing temperatures typically occur. The usage of porous pavements for storm-water ...
Assessment of Winter Maintenance of Porous Asphalt and Its Function for Chloride Source Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study presents the findings from research conducted at the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center (UNHSC) which investigated porous pavements as a potential strategy for minimizing the use of deicing chemicals ...
On Parameter Estimation of Urban Storm-Water Runoff Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An existing accumulation and wash-off model was applied and calibrated on a standard asphalt parking lot located in the northeastern United States. The field measured data consisted of rainfall, flow, and runoff samples ...
Utilizing In Situ Ultraviolet-Visual Spectroscopy to Measure Nutrients and Sediment Concentrations in Stormwater Runoff
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The capacity to collect meaningful data to estimate stormwater runoff water quality and subsequent system removal performance is key to selecting the appropriate solutions to protect water resources. Historically, grab ...
Seasonal Performance Variations for Storm-Water Management Systems in Cold Climate Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lack of widespread adoption of low-impact development (LID) designs in northern climates is in large part due to concerns about poor winter performance relating to (1) frozen filter media; and (2) dormant biological ...
