Residence Time in Stormwater Detention Basins
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Residence time has been the traditional indicator of the ability of primary and secondary clarifiers in wastewater treatment plants to remove pollutants from the waste stream. The steady-state definition of residence time ...
Suspended Solids Removal in Detention Basins
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Detention basins are being used to improve the quality of stormwater discharges from urban areas. While the design of detention facilities for quantity control is fairly well understood, the same cannot be said for the ...
Hydrologic Regionalization of Watersheds. I: Methodology Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A hydrologic regionalization scheme is proposed for classification of watersheds at gauged sites. This scheme used 16 streamflow parameters estimated by a time series model to classify 94 watersheds into 6 regions by cluster ...
Hydrologic Regionalization of Watersheds. II: Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Multiple regression analysis (MRA) and a time series model (TSM) are developed and validated for using watershed characteristics to synthesize streamflow hydrographs. Relationships between the streamflow parameters and ...
Training Artificial Neural Networks to Perform Rainfall Disaggregation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrologists and engineers need methods to disaggregate hourly rainfall data into subhourly increments for many hydrologic and hydraulic engineering applications. In the present engineering environment where time efficiency ...
Historical Development of Wet-Weather Flow Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The management of wet-weather flow (WWF) is necessary to maintain the quality of urban water resources. Throughout history, strategies have been implemented to control WWF for many reasons, including flood and water quality ...
