Abstract: Unabated runoff from impervious surfaces after rain events is considered a major source of impairment of receiving water bodies. Bioinfiltration storm-water control measures (SCM) have been shown to be effective in reducing ...

Abstract: Reduction of storm-water volumes through infiltration is becoming a commonly applied practice in the effort to mitigate the negative hydrologic impacts commonly associated with land development. The hydrologic impacts ...

Abstract: Performance of a green infrastructure (GI) tree trench comprising planters, an underground rock infiltration bed, inlet structures collecting runoff, and a perforated underdrain pipe delivering water from the inlet structure ...

Abstract: Infiltration Best Management Practices (BMPs) are becoming more readily acceptable as a means of reducing postdevelopment runoff volumes and peak flow rates to pre-construction levels, while simultaneously increasing ...

Abstract: Bioretention is one of the most commonly used stormwater control measures (SCMs) in North America and Australasia. However, current design is not targeted to regulatory need, often reflecting an outdated understanding of ...

Abstract: This article presents a method to estimate soil matrix hydraulic properties to be used for variably-saturated hydrologic analysis, such as rainfall/runoff and stormwater management analyses, among others. The methods are ...

Abstract: The effectiveness of an existing system of storm water detention basins operating at the watershed scale is evaluated. Data utilized in the study were collected from Valley Creek watershed in Chester County, Pa., which has ...

Abstract: The goals of storm-water management have shifted from a flood control to a holistic and sustainable strategy, emphasizing the relationship between rainfall event size and pollutant loadings. The first flush concept is the ...
