Abstract: Although many studies have evaluated the hydrologic effects of bioretention at the site-level, few have investigated the role bioretention plays when distributed throughout a watershed. This study aims to assess bioretention’s ...

Abstract: A detailed hydrologic/hydraulic model for an urbanized 381-acre watershed in Blacksburg, Virginia, is used to evaluate downstream results from simulation of seven stormwater management (SWM) strategies currently practiced ...

Abstract: This case study uses the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) curve number method to quantify the increase in stormwater runoff volume from infill residential redevelopment, or mansionization, in a 0.13-km2 ...

Abstract: Small urbanized areas (UAs) as defined by the U.S. Census and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have a population between 50,000 and 100,000, and a population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile. Under ...

Abstract: Municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permittees are increasingly required to reduce pollutant of concern (POC) loadings from their service areas to achieve waste load allocations (WLAs) assigned as part of total ...

Abstract: The percentage removal metric is widely used in engineering practice for stormwater control measure (SCM) selection and design, because it has been adopted by regulatory agencies and because it is straightforward to use ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development of a software-aided approach to best management practice (BMP) selection. Supported with input from a geographic information system (GIS), this software provides an algorithmic, ...

Abstract: Modeling urban flooding is challenging because of complex spatial variations and interactions between precipitation, land cover, and drainage networks. This paper presents a case study of the development of two hydrology ...
