Abstract: The breakup of an ice cover may lead to ice jamming. However, tested methods for predicting the ice cover breakup are lacking. One method uses hinge resistance at riverbanks as a tentative criterion for ice cover breakup ...

Abstract: Amount, heavy metal content, organic content, and mass distribution of the bottom sediment in an 18 year old, single-purpose dry storm water detention basin were measured. The measured results were used to assess the effect ...

Abstract: Restoring tidal flow to anthropogenically flow-restricted waterways provides ecological benefits while also changing the flood risk of adjacent lands. Our research evaluated the flooding risk on Tremley in Linden, New ...

Abstract: Vortex separators are increasingly utilized to remove suspended solids from stormwater runoff. Understanding flow patterns in a confined vortex chamber is crucial when investigating the mechanisms of liquid-solid separation. ...

Abstract: Rain gardens are commonly used as green infrastructure to reduce runoff volume and introduce ecological benefits to urban areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate hydrologic performance of a rain garden constructed ...

Abstract: A method is developed to quantify total freshwater input and flushing time in estuaries using measured flow and salinity data at the estuary-ocean boundary. A formula is derived to calculate the volume of mixed estuarine ...

Abstract: The existence of surge and related problems, namely, sharp‐peaked overflows, manhole, or drop‐shaft cover blow‐off; waterjets into the atmosphere (geysers); and structural damages in urban storm drainage systems, are ...

Abstract: Pervious concrete systems can reduce storm water runoff, minimize non-point-source pollution, and increase groundwater recharge. However, pervious concrete has the potential to clog, reducing its infiltration rate enough ...
