Abstract: Sump inlets are used to collect storm water on the streets or to release stored water in detention basins. The complication in sump inlet hydraulics arises in the transition from weir to orifice flow regimes. Conventionally, ...

Abstract: Types C and D inlet grates have a large surface area to drain storm runoff collected along highway medians. As always, highway debris presents a clogging problem to these area grates. Under the assumption that debris would ...

Abstract: Since the early 1990s, a water quality capture volume (WQCV) has been recommended for stormwater quality enhancement designs. However, lacking further guidance on how to shape the basin for this recommended volume, the ...

Abstract: A new elliptical sharp-crested weir was developed to address discharge, pollution, and maintenance concerns associated with detention ponds. The elliptical weir was specifically designed to decrease the time and cost ...

Abstract: An elliptical sharp-crested weir design was developed for detention pond outlets to address discharge, pollution, and maintenance concerns. The weir was designed in an effort to efficiently pass debris through an outlet ...
