Abstract: Traditional conceptual rainfall–runoff models in the lumped form are usually developed without consideration of the spatial variation of rainfall and the heterogeneity of the watershed geomorphological nature. As an ...

Abstract: This paper presents methodology and major procedures for the development of analytical urban storm water quality models following derived probability distribution theory, which involves conceptualization of the three major ...

Abstract: In urban storm water management planning, a common problem associated with the widespread implementation of storage/treatment facilities, is the determination of the relative magnitudes of the storage capacity and the ...

Abstract: A simple yet effective approach is presented for solving regional wastewater treatment system capacity expansion problems. The approach decomposes a model into two levels, upper and lower. The lower level treats the ...

Abstract: Given the significant urban runoff impacts on many receiving waters and the massive costs of future investments in drainage infrastructure, the design of urban runoff control systems must be cost-effective. Cost-effective ...

Abstract: Limited resources and drinking water quality requirements pose significant challenges to those managing small and rural drinking water distribution systems (WDSs). Real-time monitoring technologies could support regulatory ...

Abstract: In order to mitigate the adverse impacts of urban drainage, storm-water detention ponds are commonly used in watersheds undergoing urban development. These ponds may occupy valuable land and involve initial construction, ...

Abstract: The assessment of stormwater runoff pollution from urban catchments is addressed within a probabilistic framework. The methodology utilizes probability density functions of rainfall event characteristics, a runoff coefficient ...

Abstract: The frequency analysis of point rainfall data is examined. Particular emphasis is placed on the distinction between meteorological events observed in nature and the definition of events for statistical analysis. A ...

Abstract: Conventional landfill design attempts to control the downward seepage of leachate by using low permeability liners. The rate of leachate seepage into the underlying ground-water system can be controlled by decreasing the ...
