Abstract: Moisture retention relationships for coarse, high-infiltration soils are difficult to empirically determine and estimate. Present day software models for stormwater management (SWM) that are used as sizing and performance ...

Abstract: The perception of the maintenance demands of low impact development (LID) systems represents a significant barrier to the acceptance of LID technologies. Despite the increasing use of LID over the past two decades, stormwater ...

Abstract: This study examined the functionality of a porous pavement storm-water management system in coastal New Hampshire where 6 months of subfreezing temperatures typically occur. The usage of porous pavements for storm-water ...

Abstract: This study presents the findings from research conducted at the University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center (UNHSC) which investigated porous pavements as a potential strategy for minimizing the use of deicing chemicals ...

Abstract: An existing accumulation and wash-off model was applied and calibrated on a standard asphalt parking lot located in the northeastern United States. The field measured data consisted of rainfall, flow, and runoff samples ...

Abstract: A field study was conducted to assess biases of suspended sediment concentration (SSC) analyses (ASTM Standard D3977-97) performed on discrete samples obtained by automatic sampler in comparison with actual sediment ...

Abstract: The capacity to collect meaningful data to estimate stormwater runoff water quality and subsequent system removal performance is key to selecting the appropriate solutions to protect water resources. Historically, grab ...

Abstract: Lack of widespread adoption of low-impact development (LID) designs in northern climates is in large part due to concerns about poor winter performance relating to (1) frozen filter media; and (2) dormant biological ...
