Overall Rate Kinetics Model for Chlorine Demand of Urban Rainfall Runoff
(ASCE, 2021-09-29)The built environment significantly alters the rainfall-runoff response and associated transport of particulate matter (PM), chemicals, and pathogens in the urban water cycle. Urban water sustainability requires mitigation ... -
Seasonal Hydroclimatic and Soil Biogeochemical Drivers of N and P Availability in a Constructed Stormwater Wetland
(ASCE, 2021-09-18)Constructed stormwater wetlands are green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) practices with potential to treat stormwater nutrient pollution. GSI nutrient removal performance is controlled by GSI soil nutrient cycles, which ... -
Reading the Green Landscape: Public Attitudes toward Green Stormwater Infrastructure and the Perceived Nonmonetary Value of Its Co-Benefits in Three US Cities
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Green stormwater infrastructure mirrors natural hydrologic processes and is presented as an alternative or complement to traditional gray stormwater infrastructure, which uses concrete channels and pipes to convey flows ... -
Barriers to Real-Time Control of Stormwater Systems
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Real-time control of stormwater infrastructure is an emerging technology that can improve stormwater system function. However, this technology has not been adopted widely, nor is it typically addressed within current ... -
Tools to Quantify the Potential for Phosphorus Loss from Bioretention Soil Mixtures
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)This study was conducted to determine if soil indices for phosphorus availability can be applied to bioretention systems. We tested a broad range of composts and biosolids in combination with three water treatment residuals ... -
Laboratory Media Test Comparisons to Long-Term Performance of Biofilter and Media Filter Treatment-Train Stormwater Controls
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Stormwater biofilters and bioretention controls have been extensively studied and are commonly encouraged as effective stormwater controls. Most of these controls incorporate media to enhance pollutant removal. There is ... -
Inter-Event Water Quality Variability and Intra-Event Pollutant Dynamics in Context of Effective Impervious Area
(ASCE, 11/1/2021)Water quality modeling has been studied extensively to better manage urban runoff impacts on stream health and effectively address stormwater permitting requirements. Recent studies have indicated that previous modeling ... -
Future Projection of Extreme Rainfall for Flood Management due to Climate Change in an Urban Area
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)In urban areas, due to climate change, frequent occurrence of shorter duration rainfall extremes will increase the possibility of damaging flash floods. It is crucial to assess the impacts of climate change on rainfall ... -
Incorporating a Multiple-Benefit Analysis into a Stormwater Decision-Support Tool at Planning Level
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)As we move into an era of increased urbanization, stormwater practitioners are charged with creating multibenefit solutions through the installation of stormwater control measures (SCMs). Two drivers facilitate the accrual ... -
Seeking More Cost-Efficient Design Criteria for Infiltration Trenches
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)For many jurisdictions, the current design criteria for low-impact development practices (LIDs) including infiltration trenches require LIDs to provide enough storage capacity to store catchment runoff from the location’s ... -
Air Temperature Reductions at the Base of Tree Canopies
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Trees in urban settings have a significant role in regulating urban hydrologic cycles. Urban trees, either as standalone plantings or as part of a tree pit, are an increasingly popular stormwater management tool. Beyond ... -
Green Roof Aging Effect on Physical Properties and Hydrologic Performance
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Many studies focus on the hydrologic performance of green roofs, but the aging effect remains largely unknown due to the scarcity of long-term monitored data. This study characterized virgin and 7-year-old growth media and ... -
Effectiveness of Retention Ponds for Sustainable Urban Flood Mitigation across Range of Storm Depths in Northern Tehran, Iran
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Although there has been a growing interest in the application of stormwater best management practices, many developing countries still rely solely on traditional practices, such as channels, for urban flood management. The ... -
Sources and Impacts of Uncertainty in Uncalibrated Bioretention Models Using SWMM 5.1.012
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Using the USEPA’s Storm Water Management Model version 5.1.012 (SWMM), a case study of a street right-of-way bioretention system (ROWB) configured as a storage node is compared against SWMM’s Low Impact Development (LID) ... -
Stormwater Treatment Effectiveness of Established Lined Bioretention Facilities in Portland, Oregon
(ASCE, 5/1/2021)Bioretention systems are commonly used to treat and detain stormwater runoff and help mitigate many negative effects of urbanization. The goal of this project is to assess the pollution reduction effectiveness of lined ... -
Dynamic Treatment of County Maintenance and Service Facility Stormwater by a Pump-Fed Bioswale System
