Abstract: Rain gardens have increasingly been used to control the adverse effects of urbanization on storm-water quantity and quality. The ratio or percentage of storm water generated from the contributing area of a rain garden that ...

Abstract: An easy-to-use and physically based analytical probabilistic model is developed to evaluate the long-term average hydrologic performance of green roofs. The probabilistic models of local rainfall characteristics are ...

Abstract: The reliability of the low-impact development (LID) module of the widely used Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) for modeling the runoff reduction performance of permeable pavement systems was evaluated through example ...

Abstract: Permeable pavement systems have been increasingly used for onsite storm water management. In this paper, an analytical equation is derived for calculating the long-term average storm water capture efficiency of permeable ...

Abstract: EPA’s stormwater management model (SWMM) has been widely used in the planning and design of stormwater management facilities. SWMM is capable of simulating the hydrologic performance of low-impact development (LID) practices. ...

Abstract: Bioretention has become one of the most popular urban stormwater best management practices. An easy-to-use analytical tool is developed here to investigate the water balance dynamics of bioretention cells. A stochastic ...
