ASCE ( American Society of Civil Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Civil Engineers represents more than 150,000 members of the civil engineering profession in 177 countries. Founded in 1852, ASCE is the nation’s oldest engineering society. ASCE stands at the forefront of a profession that plans, designs, constructs, and operates society’s economic and social engine – the built environment – while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Assessment of Hydrodynamic Separators for Storm-Water Treatment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrodynamic separators are proprietary underground devices designed to remove floatable debris (e.g., leaves, trash, oil) and to remove suspended solids from storm-water runoff by sedimentation. They are designed for ...
Hydraulic Analysis of Suspended Sediment Removal from Storm Water in a Standard Sump
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Standard sumps (manholes) are common features of urban storm water collection systems, and there are anecdotes suggesting that standard sumps can improve storm water quality. However, no data on the effectiveness of sumps ...
Runoff Temperature Model for Paved Surfaces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Interest in thermal pollution due to storm-water runoff has risen significantly since it was recognized that fish habitat in coldwater streams may deteriorate or even disappear following urban development or logging. The ...
Case Study of Simulation of Heat Export by Rainfall Runoff from a Small Urban Watershed Using MINUHET
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The influence of urban development on the volume of storm water runoff and on water temperature, and the associated impact on streams in urban watersheds, has generated a need for tools to predict the temperature of urban ...
Upper Bounds for Stream Temperatures in the Contiguous United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water temperatures mediate the rate of chemical reactions and constrain the habitat space of freshwater organisms in streams. Stream temperatures are therefore of great interest for stream water quality and stream ecology. ...
