SWMM5 Unsaturated Drainage Models for Stormwater Biofiltration with an Internal Water Storage Zone
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Denitrifying stormwater biofiltration systems are designed to enhance nitrogen removal and operate under saturated and unsaturated conditions; however, unsaturated drainage expressions for these systems are unavailable for ... -
Phosphate Retention in a Constructed Stormwater Wetland with Low Total Suspended Solids Concentrations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Although constructed stormwater wetlands (CSWs) have been shown to treat stormwater runoff, the mechanisms controlling these water-quality improvements need further study. This research explores the fate of phosphate through ... -
Evaluation of Continuous Monitoring as a Tool for Municipal Stormwater Management Programs
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the uncertainty attributable to inadequate temporal sampling of stormwater discharge and water quality, and understand its implications for meeting monitoring objectives relevant ... -
Hydrologic Modeling and Capital Cost Analysis of Low-Impact Development1
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Urban development substantially increases the rate and volume of stormwater runoff. Conventional stormwater management focuses on peak rate control while overlooking the increased volume of urban runoff. Low impact development ... -
Demonstrating and Monetizing the Multiple Benefits from Using SuDS
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) measures provide a wide range of benefits beyond simply dealing with stormwater. In the United Kingdom such measures are termed sustainable drainage systems (SuDS). There are a number ... -
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 ... -
Establishing a Framework for the Spatial Identification of Effective Impervious Areas in Gauged Basins: Review and Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Effective impervious area (EIA) is defined as the subset of the total impervious area (TIA) often hydrologically connected to stream networks via stormwater infrastructure. Its importance in runoff modeling and watershed ... -
Reducing Stormwater Nitrogen with Denitrifying Bioreactors: Florida Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Growth of suburban areas has led to significant nonpoint source nitrate (NO3−) pollution. Wet detention ponds reduce peak flows but are not designed to reduce NO3− loading downstream. Denitrifying bioreactors have shown ... -

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 ... -
Closure to “Green Infrastructure Recovery: Analysis of the Influence of Back-to-Back Rainfall Events” by Bridget M. Wadzuk, Conor Lewellyn, Ryan Lee, and Robert G. Traver

Green Infrastructure Retrofits with Impervious Area Reduction by Property Type: Potential Improvements to Urban Stream Quality
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Building on concepts that relate stream health to extent of watershed impervious area and the capability of green infrastructure (GI) measures that remove runoff volume to reduce effective impervious area, the extent of ... -
Statistical Model and Benchmarking Procedure for Energy Use by US Public Water Systems
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Modern public water systems require energy to provide reliable high-quality water, and two particular data problems exist. The first is the quantification of their energy requirements, for which literature is sparse and ... -
The Health of Trees in Bioretention: A Survey and Analysis of Influential Variables
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Bioretention is a commonly used stormwater control measure that, through biogeochemical processes, can improve water quality and reduce runoff volume generated from impervious surfaces. Vegetation has been shown to improve ... -
High-Resolution Modeling of Infill Development Impact on Stormwater Dynamics in Denver, Colorado
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Growing cities require accurate knowledge of current and future hydrologic conditions to make effective stormwater management decisions. Yet, this information is lacking because cities are undergoing infill development/r ... -
Three-Dimensional Modeling of the Hydraulic Function and Channel Stability of Regenerative Stormwater Conveyances
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Regenerative stormwater conveyances (RSCs) are an innovative approach to repairing local channel incision at stormwater outfalls while simultaneously treating stormwater runoff, providing groundwater recharge, and establishing ... -
State of the Practice: Assessing Water Quality Benefits from Street Sweeping
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) permittees face costly obligations to reduce pollutant of concern (POC) loadings for achieving waste load allocations (WLAs) assigned from total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). ... -
