Hydrologic and Environmental Impacts of Imperviousness in an Industrial Catchment of Northern Italy
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The increase of imperviousness due to urbanization creates adverse effects on the hydrological and environmental processes in a catchment. The increase in impervious areas leads to a higher runoff peak flow and stormwater ...
Evaluation of the Areal Reduction Factor in an Urban Area through Rainfall Records of Limited Length: A Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the determination of the areal reduction factor (ARF) as a function of area and duration. The analysis is carried out using the data recorded in a 10-year period at the rainfall gauge network of the ...
Phasing LID Implementation for Flood Mitigation in Urban Drainage Systems Considering Climate Change Scenarios and Using Genetic Algorithms
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a novel methodology for phasing the implementation of a low impact development (LID) system in urban drainage systems (UDSs). The methodology consists of the combination of various elements including ...
Analytical Methodology for the Discharge-Stage Relation of Flexible Shape Palmer-Bowlus Flumes
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The flexible shape Palmer-Bowlus flume is a simple device for flow measurement in free-surface flow circular channels and conduits. In this study, the discharge-stage relation for Palmer-Bowlus flumes is determined based ...
