Characterizing Runoff from Roads: Particle Size Distributions, Nutrients, and Gross Solids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Erratum for “Thermal Mitigation of Urban Storm Water by Level Spreader–Vegetative Filter Strips” by R. J. Winston, W. F. Hunt, and W. G. Lord
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Thermal Mitigation of Urban Storm Water by Level Spreader–Vegetative Filter Strips
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A study was conducted in Louisburg, North Carolina, to determine the effect of level spreader–vegetative filter strip (LS-VFS) storm-water control measures (SCMs) on runoff temperature and thermal loading. Two LS-VFS systems ...
Comparison of Runoff Quality and Quantity from a Commercial Low-Impact and Conventional Development in Raleigh, North Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urbanization and its associated increased impervious footprint lead to stream impairment through erosion, flooding, and augmented pollutant loads. Low-impact development (LID) focuses on disconnecting impervious areas, ...
Runoff Volume Reduction by a Level Spreader–Vegetated Filter Strip System in Suburban Charlotte, N.C.
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The premise of low impact development (LID) is to reduce runoff volumes while simultaneously matching target (often predevelopment) infiltration and evapotranspiration volumes. Many structural practices used in LID, such ...
Field Evaluation of Four Level Spreader–Vegetative Filter Strips to Improve Urban Storm-Water Quality
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An assessment of the performance of four level spreader–vegetative filter strip (LS-VFS) systems designed to treat urban storm-water runoff was undertaken at two sites in the Piedmont of North Carolina. At each site, a ...
A Synthesis of Climate Change Impacts on Stormwater Management Systems: Designing for Resiliency and Future Challenges
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Climate change is projected to alter rainfall patterns in many parts of the US and around the world, highlighting the importance of stormwater management systems within resiliency efforts. Stormwater systems typically are ...
