Abstract: Popularity of infiltration-based green infrastructure (GI) has spurred concern about rising groundwater tables and the potential detrimental effect on building foundations. This study examines water table fluctuations ...

Abstract: This research presents an initial study of the impacts of storm-water infiltration on a shallow unconfined aquifer at a bioinfiltration best management practice (BMP) on the campus of Villanova University. The study site ...

Abstract: Stormwater control measures (SCMs), such as rain gardens, aim to restore the hydrologic cycle impacted by development. Development increases runoff and reduces infiltration, groundwater replenishment, and evapotranspiration ...

Abstract: Use of water treatment plant residuals (WTRs) in storm-water control measures (SCMs) is a sustainable alternative to landfill disposal of WTRs. However, research is needed to determine how effective WTR-amended SCMs would ...

Abstract: Accounting for seasonal effects on rain garden performance can be challenging in colder regions. Changes in temperature cause changes in the viscosity of water, infiltration rates, and evapotranspiration rates. A variably ...

Abstract: Stormwater management practices (SMPs) are increasingly being implemented in urban environments to provide water quality and quantity benefits to municipalities. Bioinfiltration systems (e.g., rain gardens) are a ...
