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 ... -
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 ... -
Evaluating the Accuracy of Common Runoff Estimation Methods for New Impervious Hot-Mix Asphalt
(2016)Accurately predicting runoff volume from impervious surfaces for water quality design events is an important step to meet water quality and infiltration design targets for green infrastructure stormwater control measures. ... -
Improved Fog Collection Using Turf Reinforcement Mats
(2016)Impoverished communities are particularly vulnerable to increasing water scarcity. The development of low-cost technologies that improve access to unconventional water sources, such as the freshwater contained in fog, is ... -
Vegetation and Media Characteristics of an Effective Bioretention Cell
(2016)A seven-year-old bioretention cell in Silver Spring, Maryland was surveyed for vegetation and media characteristics 11 months after last maintenance. Volunteer plants constituted more than half of the cell vegetation. ... -
Removal of Dissolved Copper and Zinc from Highway Runoff via Adsorption
(2016)Dissolved copper and zinc are commonly observed in highway runoff at concentrations that have been shown to exert toxic effects on aquatic microbiota and macrobiota. Dissolved copper in particular has been shown to disrupt ... -

Performance and Cost-Based Comparison of Green and Gray Infrastructure to Control Combined Sewer Overflows
(2016)Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is being used more often today as a water supply and stormwater management green infrastructure (GI). In recent years, GIs in urban water engineering have gained attention due to their lower ... -
Evaluation of Soil Class Proxies for Hydrologic Performance of In Situ Bioinfiltration Systems
(2016)The hydrologic performance of in situ bioinfiltration systems (bioretention systems with no fill media or underdrain) is quantified and soil classes are evaluated as proxies for design requirements. A one-dimensional (1D) ...
