Testing a Watershed-Scale Stream Power Index Tool for Erosion Risk Assessment in an Urban River
(ASCE, 2022/05/02)Successful watershed planning requires a watershed-scale approach to the assessment of erosion hazards. Stream power, or the rate of energy expenditure of flowing water, is a driver of river erosion and morphologic change. ... -
Mapping Predicted Areas of Common Maintenance Impacts to Green Stormwater Infrastructure in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
(ASCE, 2022/04/28)Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has become a popular alternative to gray infrastructure design by decreasing stormwater pollution and providing a multitude of social, environmental, and economic benefits to communities. ... -
Drainage Alternatives for Rain Gardens on Subsoil of Low Permeability: Balance among Ponding Time, Soil Moisture, and Runoff Reduction
(ASCE, 2022-04-21)Rain gardens are commonly used as green infrastructure to reduce runoff volume and introduce ecological benefits to urban areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate hydrologic performance of a rain garden constructed ... -
Underperformance Assessment Framework for Bioinfiltration Systems
(ASCE, 2022-04-21)Stormwater management practices (SMPs) are increasingly being implemented in urban environments to provide water quality and quantity benefits to municipalities. Bioinfiltration systems (e.g., rain gardens) are a ... -
Framework for Investigating the Impact of Distribution, Quantity, and Infiltration and Outlet Design Characteristics of Vegetated Basins in the Headwaters of a Watershed
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)Vegetated basins are one type of stormwater control measure (SCM) that uses a depression to control runoff volume and enhance water quality. Within this depression, the infiltration and outflow are affected by the infiltration ... -
Impacts of Size Distribution and Storm Intensity on the Behavior of Suspended Particles and Their Associated Metals in a Bioswale Stormwater Control Measure
(ASCE, 2022-03-24)Suspended solids in runoff were evaluated along the gradient of a bioswale stormwater control measure (SCM), considering storms of varying intensities. Total and size-fractionated suspended solids and their associated ... -
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 ... -
Hydrologic Performance of a Multicell Vegetated Basin with Different Soil and Outlet Structure Characteristics
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)Green stormwater infrastructure, also known as stormwater control measures (SCMs), is a sustainable solution that has been widely used in controlling stormwater runoff in developed areas. Stormwater intensity and land use ... -
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 ... -
Phosphorus Removal, Metals Dynamics, and Hydraulics in Stormwater Bioretention Systems Amended with Drinking Water Treatment Residuals
(ASCE, 2022-03-16)Drinking water treatment residuals (DWTRs) are a promising media amendment for enhancing phosphorus (P) removal in bioretention systems, but substantial removal of dissolved P by DWTRs has not been demonstrated in field ... -
Effects of Nonstationarity in Urban Land Cover and Rainfall on Historical Flooding Intensity in a Semiarid Catchment
(ASCE, 2022-01-20)Nonstationarity of rainfall extremes and urban land cover pose uncertainties for local stormwater managers attempting to address urban flooding. Due to the recent attention focused on adapting urban drainage design to ... -
Improving the Decision-Making Process for Stormwater Management Using Life-Cycle Costs and a Benefit Analysis
(ASCE, 2022-01-13)Stormwater management is a multiobjective decision-making process. Integrating life-cycle costs (LCC) and a benefit analysis with hydrologic modeling can enhance planning-level analyses by expanding available information ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Visibility on Maintenance Investment and Consequent Performance of Urban Stormwater Control Measures
(ASCE, 2021-11-23)Studies on the performance of urban stormwater control measures (SCMs) mainly focus on hydrologic and biological factors. SCMs are located in an urban context and humans are part of this ecosystem, yet few studies have ... -
Inverted versus Raised: The Impact of Bioretention Underdrain Height on Internal Water-Storage Hydraulics
(ASCE, 2021-12-07)Bioretention design can include a saturated internal water storage (IWS) layer to promote denitrification. Typical practice connects an underdrain, at the IWS base, to an upturned elbow; alternatively, the underdrain can ... -
Field-Scale Analysis of a Stormwater Infiltration Trench’s Failure Mechanisms
(ASCE, 2021-12-13)Infiltration trenches are one type of stormwater control measure (SCM) that can help fulfill stormwater management requirements, especially in highly urban areas where open space is limited. Underground infiltration trenches ... -
Stormwater Retention of an In-Series System Composed of a Green Roof, Constructed Wetland, and Bioretention Cell for a Single-Family Home
