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 ... -

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). ... -
Sustainable Rainwater Utilization and Water Circulation Model for Green Campus Design at Tianjin University
(2018)Considering green and sustainable concepts while planning, designing, constructing, and operating its new campus, Tianjin University built a green campus with a sustainable rainwater utilization and water circulation system. ... -

Characteristics of Urban Waterlogging and Flash Flood Hazards and Their Integrated Preventive Measures: Case Study in Fuzhou, China
(2018)The frequent extreme weather events have led to dramatic urban waterlogging and flash flood hazards in recent years, which result in heavy casualties and serious economic losses. Mountainous cities like Fuzhou, China, ... -
Nutrient Leaching and Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Grassed Detention and Bioretention Stormwater Basins
(2018)Nutrient cycling was compared in a grassed detention basin and a bioretention basin was amended with compost, mulch, and diverse plantings. The authors monitored dissolved nutrients in basin inflows and outflows and emissions ... -
Mitigating Soil Erosion Caused by Artificial Disturbances in Hilly Lake Environs: Scenario Approach to LID Planning
(2018)Low-impact development (LID) is crucial to mitigate soil erosion during artificial disturbance in hilly lake environs. However, little research on LID practices focuses on their scenario functions on long-term soil erosion ... -
Sustainability-Oriented Urban Renewal and Low-Impact Development Applications in China: Case Study of Yangpu District, Shanghai
(2018)Urban renewal raises great challenges for global sustainable development. However, there is a lack of integrated knowledge on how to improve urban sustainability through a low-impact development process for urban renewal. ... -
Reducing Directly Connected Impervious Areas with Green Stormwater Infrastructure
(2018)The emerging field of urban watershed protection often lacks a unifying goal to guide the efforts of many of its multidisciplined participants—planners, engineers, landscape architects, scientists, and local officials. ... -
Modeling Soil Matrix Hydraulic Properties for Variably-Saturated Hydrologic Analysis
(2016)This article presents a method to estimate soil matrix hydraulic properties to be used for variably-saturated hydrologic analysis, such as rainfall/runoff and stormwater management analyses, among others. The methods are ...
