Abstract: The Urban Water Resources Research Council identifies four critical engineering issues that must be addressed in the 21st century: water supply, storm water management, combined sewer systems, and engineering education. ...

Abstract: Continuing education and training are vital in technical organizations for at least two reasons. One is to keep pace with rapid changes in technology. The other is preparing selected technically oriented individuals to ...

Abstract: Peak-flow attenuation is widely used in urban storm-water systems. Standard practice typically involves peak shaving of postdevelopment flows to predevelopment peak-flow levels for given return interval storms. In most ...

Abstract: The performance of storm water best management practices (BMPs) contains many uncertainties that make predicting BMP performance difficult. The objective of this study is to build a BMP performance model that incorporates ...

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 ...

Abstract: The water quality capture volume (WQCV) is a design parameter that is used for sizing urban storm-water treatment facilities. The storage, treatment, overflow, and runoff model (STORM) in NetSTORM was used to translate ...

Abstract: Many storm-water modeling problems consider watersheds comprised of complex flow networks including surfaces, streets, pipes, and channels. Ideally, hydrologic methods would be used to model the accumulation of runoff on ...
