Abstract: Interest in thermal pollution due to storm-water runoff has risen significantly since it was recognized that fish habitat in coldwater streams may deteriorate or even disappear following urban development or logging. The ...

Abstract: Water temperatures mediate the rate of chemical reactions and constrain the habitat space of freshwater organisms in streams. Stream temperatures are therefore of great interest for stream water quality and stream ecology. ...

Abstract: Hydrodynamic separators are proprietary underground devices designed to remove floatable debris (e.g., leaves, trash, oil) and to remove suspended solids from storm-water runoff by sedimentation. They are designed for ...

Abstract: Standard sumps (manholes) are common features of urban storm water collection systems, and there are anecdotes suggesting that standard sumps can improve storm water quality. However, no data on the effectiveness of sumps ...

Abstract: The influence of urban development on the volume of storm water runoff and on water temperature, and the associated impact on streams in urban watersheds, has generated a need for tools to predict the temperature of urban ...
