Abstract: This paper presents the results of an analysis of research needs in urban storm‐water pollution control. This assessment of needs is based on evaluation of the state of the art in four areas: urban runoff characterization, ...

Abstract: An efficient and equitable method for determination of impact fees for urban water systems is presented. A fair allocation of costs is based on

Abstract: The Lotus 1‐2‐3 spreadsheet package has been used to develop a stormwater drainage design method which is based on the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) hand tabulation form (FDOT 1987). By using the FDOT ...

Abstract: Monitoring and regulating hazardous waste generators is becoming increasingly difficult. Expert systems are used to expedite the process of evaluating information on generators and reporting the results to them. This system ...

Abstract: Intelligent-search-based optimizers have shown promise in providing improved links between analysis and design. Genetic-algorithm-based optimizers are often used, but other heuristic methods, such as tabu search, have also ...

Abstract: Electronic spreadsheet software developed for microcomputers provides a means by which an engineer can prepare and analyze data, estimate model parameters, perform desktop calculations, and thoroughly document all work. ...

Abstract: New microscale techniques have become available to assist urban designers in better water management. Urban water management has focused on two different areas: storm water and water supply. The focus of storm-water ...

Abstract: Imperviousness is an important indicator of the impact of urbanization on storm water systems. A hydrologic analysis was performed to evaluate long-term impacts from an apartment area in Miami. The result shows that the ...

Abstract: A comparison of methods used for analyzing the long‐term pollutant removal efficiency in a stormwater detention basin points out some fundamental differences between simulation, using EPA's Storm Water Management Model, ...
