Abstract: An objective methodology is proposed for evaluating the hydraulic performance for possible rehabilitation of sewer systems. It involves assigning a hydraulic performance index to each pipe section. This hydraulic index ...

Abstract: Urban drainage systems are prone to symptomatic decay that eventually causes surcharged flows and flooding, with important consequences for the aquatic ecosystems of receiving water bodies in addition to the safety of ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to develop an optimization model for the selection and placement of best management practice (BMP) at the watershed level in order to control water quantity and quality. Linear programming (LP) ...

Abstract: Implementing best management practices (BMP) on watersheds could help mitigate the effects of urbanization and climate change on the hydrological cycle. Techniques such as retention ponds, rain gardens, infiltration trenches, ...
