Future Storm Frequency and Runoff in Small US Mid-Atlantic Watersheds Evaluated Using Capture Depth
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Due to climate change and urbanization, runoff events will become more frequent, resulting in increased potential for flooding and soil erosion. To understand the hydrologic impacts of various climate change and urbanization ... -
Identifying Key Factors for Implementation and Maintenance of Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Construction and maintenance can have major implications on the long-term functioning of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) facilities. The GSI facilities investigated were bioretention, permeable pavement, sand filters, ... -
Green Infrastructure Implementation in Urban Parks for Stormwater Management
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)A newly constructed rain garden in Shoelace Park in Bronx, New York, USA, was monitored between October 2014 and July 2015 as a pilot study aimed at testing the effectiveness of using urban park space to manage adjacent ... -
High-Flow Structural Media for Removing Stormwater-Dissolved Phosphorous in Permeable Paving
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Phosphorus (P) loadings from urban runoff is a persistent contributor to waterbody impairment. Dissolved phosphorus (DP), however, is not well retained by many stormwater control measures (SCMs), including permeable ... -

Optimal Selection and Placement of Green Infrastructure in Urban Watersheds for PCB Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)San Francisco Bay and its watersheds are polluted by legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), resulting in the establishment of a total maximum daily load (TDML) that requires a 90% PCB load reduction from municipal ... -
Reliability-Based Approach to Investigating Long-Term Clogging in Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is defined by the integration of natural processes into the built environment to provide important ecosystem services. While GSI has multiple benefits, its hydrologic performance can ... -
Comparing Greenhouse Gas Fluxes from Passive Urban Stormwater Management to Conventional Wastewater Treatment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Green infrastructure (GI) is a popular tool to improve city resilience to climate change and improve water quality. However, because these systems receive pulses of nutrient rich stormwater (SW), they may be contributing ... -
Field Monitoring of Downspout Disconnections to Reduce Runoff Volume and Improve Water Quality along the North Carolina Coast
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Virtually all land development increases stormwater runoff and disrupts the natural hydrologic cycle. This is a particularly important issue for areas developed prior to the widespread application of stormwater control ... -
Decision Making on the Gray-Green Stormwater Infrastructure Continuum
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)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, ... -
Site-Scale LID-BMPs Planning and Optimization in Residential Areas
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Low-impact development best management practices (LID-BMPs) are a representative and effective approach in urban runoff management. In a planning process, it is important to optimally design and place LID-BMPs to maximize ... -
Risk-Based Methodology for Evaluation of Bioinfiltration Design and Performance
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)Green infrastructure practices are being implemented as a sustainable way to manage stormwater. Many communities are implementing green infrastructure practices on their own and in conjunction with gray infrastructure ... -
Design and Construction of Full-Scale Testing Apparatus for Evaluating Performance of Catch Basin Inserts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019)As stormwater runoff flows over impervious surfaces, it suspends and transports various pollutants from their original locations and often conveys them into municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s). Most municipalities ... -
Economic and Energy Efficiency of Net-Zero Water Communities: System Dynamics Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A net-zero water (NZW) community can be developed by combining various water supply sources, conservation measures, and water reuse approaches over time. A decision support system is required to assess the site-specific ... -
Laboratory Comparison of Field Infiltrometers
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Three devices for measuring hydraulic conductivity of soil in the field were tested under controlled conditions in the laboratory using three types of media to compare their accuracy and precision: modified Philip-Dunne ... -
Simulated Performance of In-Place Pervious Concrete under Varying Storms, Surface Areas, and Infiltration Rates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Computer model simulations were conducted of an existing parking lot with pervious concrete low-impact development (LID) controls using the U.S. EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). For three different types of storms, ... -
Nutrient Removal Rates of Permeable Reactive Concrete
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Nitrogen and phosphorus contained in stormwater runoff contaminate both surface and groundwaters, causing problems for natural aquatic systems and human health. Pervious concrete specifically designed for pollutant removal, ... -
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Green Roads for Runoff Control
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Green roads can be incorporated into low-impact development (LID) practices to reduce the risk of flood disasters by collecting rainfall and reusing it as irrigation water for vegetation near the roads. In this study, an ... -
Integrated Urban Water Resources Model to Improve Water Quality Management in Data-Limited Cities with Application to Bogotá, Colombia
