Enhancing Stormwater Management Benefits of Rainwater Harvesting via Innovative Technologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems provide the dual, but often opposing, benefits of acting as alternate water supply sources and providing detention/retention of roof runoff that would otherwise become stormwater runoff. ...
Underdrain Configuration to Enhance Bioretention Exfiltration to Reduce Pollutant Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The bioretention drainage configuration of raising the outlet to create an internal water storage (IWS) layer in the media was originally intended to promote denitrifying conditions. The goal was to reduce nitrate and total ...
Enhancing Stormwater Management Benefits of Rainwater Harvesting via Innovative Technologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems provide the dual, but often opposing, benefits of acting as alternate water supply sources and providing detention/retention of roof runoff that would otherwise become stormwater runoff. ...
Evaluation of Storm-Water Wetlands in Series in Piedmont North Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Three storm-water wetlands in series were monitored in a heavily urbanized 12.5 ha watershed in Mooresville, North Carolina. Monitoring of this system allowed an examination of the diminishing returns provided by three ...
Performance of a Bioretention Area and a Level Spreader-Grass Filter Strip at Two Highway Sites in North Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The pollutant removal efficiency of a bioretention area and a level spreader-grass filter strip implemented at North Carolina highway facilities was assessed. The assessment consisted of monitoring inflow, outflow, and ...
Indicator Bacteria Performance of Storm Water Control Measures in Wilmington, North Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Indicator bacteria are a common source of impairment in surface waters in the United States. Urban storm water runoff has been identified as a contributor to elevated indicator bacteria concentrations. Six storm water ...
Characterizing Runoff from Roads: Particle Size Distributions, Nutrients, and Gross Solids
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Field Evaluation of Level Spreaders in the Piedmont of North Carolina
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Level spreaders are commonly used in combination with riparian buffers as a stormwater best management practice in many parts of the United States. These systems have not been extensively studied in urbanized environments ...
Erratum for “Thermal Mitigation of Urban Storm Water by Level Spreader–Vegetative Filter Strips” by R. J. Winston, W. F. Hunt, and W. G. Lord
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
LID Treatment Train: Pervious Concrete with Subsurface Storage in Series with Bioretention and Care with Seasonal High Water Tables
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Two infiltrating low-impact development (LID) practices configured in-series, pervious concrete and bioretention (PC-B), were monitored for 17 months to examine the hydrologic and water quality response of this LID treatment ...
