Adequacy of Linear Models for Estimating Stormwater Best Management Practice Treatment Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) are commonly emplaced to remove contaminants to reduce environmental impacts of runoff, in addition to their flood control function. The selection of BMPs for urban catchments ...
Improving the Decision-Making Process for Stormwater Management Using Life-Cycle Costs and a Benefit Analysis
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Stormwater management is a multiobjective decision-making process. Integrating life-cycle costs (LCC) and a benefit analysis with hydrologic modeling can enhance planning-level analyses by expanding available information ...
Reading the Green Landscape: Public Attitudes toward Green Stormwater Infrastructure and the Perceived Nonmonetary Value of Its Co-Benefits in Three US Cities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Green stormwater infrastructure mirrors natural hydrologic processes and is presented as an alternative or complement to traditional gray stormwater infrastructure, which uses concrete channels and pipes to convey flows ...
Incorporating a Multiple-Benefit Analysis into a Stormwater Decision-Support Tool at Planning Level
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As we move into an era of increased urbanization, stormwater practitioners are charged with creating multibenefit solutions through the installation of stormwater control measures (SCMs). Two drivers facilitate the accrual ...
MODIS-Based Potential Evapotranspiration Demand Curves for the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A satellite-based potential evapotranspiration (PET) product for streamflow simulations is tested for 15 forecast basins in the Upper Mississippi and Red River watersheds under the forecasting responsibility of the National ...
MODIS-Based Potential Evapotranspiration Demand Curves for the Sacramento Soil Moisture Accounting Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A satellite-based potential evapotranspiration (PET) product for streamflow simulations is tested for 15 forecast basins in the Upper Mississippi and Red River watersheds under the forecasting responsibility of the National ...
Stormwater Management Options and Decision-Making in Urbanized Watersheds of Los Angeles, California
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Hydrologic modeling is a crucial tool to understand the physical and hydrologic characteristics that contribute to water quality degradation in urban areas and the effectiveness of stormwater best management practices ...
Decision Making on the Gray-Green Stormwater Infrastructure Continuum
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Prioritizing stormwater infrastructure projects is challenging. In addition to regulating runoff and complying with water quality standards, agencies also consider factors such as life cycle costs, environmental impacts, ...
Systems Analysis and Optimization of Local Water Supplies in Los Angeles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Los Angeles, which relies on large infrastructure systems that import water over hundreds of miles, faces a future of reduced imports. Within Los Angeles and its hundreds of water agencies, the capacity to adapt to future ...
