A Diagnostic Analysis of Low-Impact Development Simulations with SWMM
(ASCE, 2022-01-03)Green infrastructure (GI) aims to mitigate the impacts of imperviousness by storing and slowing the flow of water through urbanized landscapes. Green roofs, one type of GI, are widely simulated using the Storm Water ... -
A Method to Assess Plant Behavior in Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)There has been a rise in interest to quantify evapotranspiration (ET) in green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), and to do so in easier and cheaper ways than full-scale research sites. This study evaluated using a leaf ... -
A New Method for Estimating Water-Quality Flows
(ASCE, 7/25/2023 )Water-quality flow (WQF) is used as the basis for designing some stormwater control measures. The conventional method for determining the WQF incorporates several assumptions that do not reflect reality. A method is presented ... -
A Pilot-Scale Hybrid Adsorption–Biological Treatment System for Nitrogen Removal in Onsite Wastewater Treatment
(ASCE, 2020)Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) are significant nonpoint sources of nutrients to surface and groundwater worldwide. Advanced OWTS are challenged by highly transient nutrient loads, long idle periods (e.g., during ... -
A Synthesis of Climate Change Impacts on Stormwater Management Systems: Designing for Resiliency and Future Challenges
(ASCE, 2024/05/01)Climate change is projected to alter rainfall patterns in many parts of the US and around the world, highlighting the importance of stormwater management systems within resiliency efforts. Stormwater systems typically are ... -
A Tool for Water Balance Analysis of Bioretention Cells
(ASCE, 8/1/2020 1)Bioretention has become one of the most popular urban stormwater best management practices. An easy-to-use analytical tool is developed here to investigate the water balance dynamics of bioretention cells. A stochastic ... -
Adequacy of Linear Models for Estimating Stormwater Best Management Practice Treatment Performance
(ASCE, 11/1/2020 )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 ... -
Air Temperature Reductions at the Base of Tree Canopies
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Trees in urban settings have a significant role in regulating urban hydrologic cycles. Urban trees, either as standalone plantings or as part of a tree pit, are an increasingly popular stormwater management tool. Beyond ... -
Analytical Derivation of Urban Runoff-Volume Frequency Models
(ASCE, 2021-10-12)The analytical probabilistic approach has been investigated and occasionally applied in urban stormwater management for more than three decades. Many expansions and improvements have been made since its first appearance. ... -
Analytical Equations for Estimating the Total Runoff Reduction Efficiency of Infiltration Trenches
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The total runoff reduction efficiency of infiltration trenches can be used as the primary indicator of their stormwater management performance. In this technical note, analytical equations are derived for estimating the ... -
Analytical Equations for Estimating the Total Runoff Reduction Efficiency of Infiltration Trenches
(2016)The total runoff reduction efficiency of infiltration trenches can be used as the primary indicator of their stormwater management performance. In this technical note, analytical equations are derived for estimating the ... -
Analytical Equations for Use in the Planning of Infiltration Facilities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This paper applies an analytical probabilistic approach to examine the hydrologic operations of nonvegetated infiltration facilities. Two sets of analytical equations for estimating infiltration facilities’ stormwater ... -
Assessing the Benefits of Early and Repeated Maintenance with Regenerative Air Street Sweepers on Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements
(ASCE, 2022-04-01)Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavement is a type of permeable pavement system that allows surface water to infiltrate through the paver joints into aggregate storage layers below. As they age, sediment and debris accumulate ... -
Assessing the Effects of Bioretention’s Engineered Media Composition and Compaction on Hydraulic Conductivity and Water Holding Capacity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Bioretention devices are often recognized as stormwater control measures (SCMs) that satisfy green infrastructure or low-impact development (LID) objectives. The hydraulic characteristics of filter media underpin effective ... -
Assessing the Water Quality Performance of Limestone Media in Bioretention and Sand Filter Basin Testbeds
(ASCE, 2023/11/01)Low impact development (LID) practices are commonly used stormwater control measures (SCMs) designed to mimic the predevelopment hydrologic regime by restoring the natural water cycle and enhancing water quality. A full-scale ... -
Assessment of Annual Water-Balance Models for Diverse Indian Watersheds
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Hydrological responses of a watershed are often cumbersome to identify because they exhibit spatiotemporal variation. Rather, it is interesting to observe the hydrologic responses of a basin at a microlevel scale. Thus, a ... -
Assessment of Orifice-Controlled Flow Monitoring Device for Rain Garden Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A high-precision low-flow measurement device that used two different orifices valid over a wide range of small flows measured flow to a rain garden. The design of the device is presented. Direct measurement of the roof ... -
