Roofing Materials’ Contributions to Storm-Water Runoff Pollution
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Development in sensitive watersheds continues to pose environmental problems for receiving waters. One contributor to this long-term pollution is building and other construction materials. However, the long-term effect of ... -
Steady Groundwater Transport of Highway Deicing Agent Constituents from an Infiltration Basin
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The highway deicing agent groundwater plume from an infiltration basin in the Plymouth-Carver Aquifer near State Route 25 in southeastern Massachusetts is modeled and measured in order to assess the impact of the basin on ... -
Effects of a Permeable Friction Course on Highway Runoff
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This project documents the impact of a porous asphalt overlay on the quality and quantity of highway storm-water runoff. A permeable friction course, also known as open graded friction course, is a layer of porous asphalt ... -
Sediment Discharge from a Storm-Water Retention Pond1
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A small storm-water retention pond is primarily designed to reduce the peak rate of surface runoff. From a water quality standpoint, that same pond may be irregular in shape and trap suspended sediment carried by the surface ... -
Nutrient Retention in Vegetated and Nonvegetated Bioretention Mesocosms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Thirty well-established 240L bioretention mesocosms were used to investigate retention of dissolved nutrients by bioretention systems. Ten mesocosms were comprised of -
Probabilistic Approach to Estimation of Urban Storm-Water Total Maximum Daily Loads: Unregulated Catchment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This work examines the basic processes and functions behind urban storm-water pollution delivery into surface waters and develops a set of tools that allow the estimation of pollutant load dynamics on receiving waters. In ... -
Nonpoint Source Phosphorus Trading in the Cherry Creek Reservoir Watershed in Colorado
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The Cherry Creek Reservoir in the Denver Metropolitan area is subject to the Cherry Creek Reservoir Control Regulation (control regulation), which establishes a total maximum annual load for the reservoir of -
Integrated Storm-Water Management for Watershed Sustainability
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)One aspect of integrated watershed management evaluates the impact of development on the local hydrologic cycle and, in particular, drinking water, wastewater, and storm-water infrastructure. Sustainable storm-water ... -
Comparison of BMP Performance Using the International BMP Database
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)This paper explores the performance and relative pollutant removal of several common best management practices (BMPs) using data contained in the International Stormwater BMP Database. These BMPs include retention (wet) ... -
Development of Storm-Water Management Design Criteria to Maintain Geomorphic Stability in Kansas City Metropolitan Area Streams
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Fifty-three years of historical precipitation data were applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to conduct hydrologic and hydraulic simulations, generating continuous stream ... -
Prediction of Effluent Quality from Retention Ponds and Constructed Wetlands for Managing Bacterial Stressors in Storm-Water Runoff
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Microbial indicator organisms make up the greatest number of reported receiving water impairments, resulting in many questions on the fate of indicator bacteria passing through storm-water best management practices (BMPs). ... -
Closure to “Approximation of Well Function for Large Diameter Wells” by Sushil K. Singh
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008) -
Diagnostic Curve for Confined Aquifer Parameters from Early Drawdowns
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A diagnostic curve of unimodal shape is developed for identifying the confined aquifer parameters from early drawdowns. A scaled well function is proposed for the diagnostic curve and computationally simple functions are ... -
Cutthroat Measurement Flume Calibration for Free and Submerged Flow Using a Single Equation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)A series of detailed laboratory measurements were made under steady-state flow conditions through a 0.914-m (3-ft) Cutthroat flume in an attempt to more accurately define transition submergence for four standard throat ... -
Energy Dissipation on Submerged Block Ramps
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Block ramps represent structures that produce high energy dissipation and have a unique characteristic of preserving the ecological balance in a river restoration project. The energy dissipation of a block ramp changes ... -
Direct Solution to Problems of Open-Channel Transitions: Rectangular Channels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)The specific energy equation has many applications in rectangular open-channel flow problems. The existing methods of solving this equation are as follows: trial-and-error solution, graphical solution, and design tables ... -
Seepage Velocity and Piping Resistance of Coir Fiber Mixed Soils
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)In the context of sustainable watershed management, natural fibers mixed with soil have applications in irrigation and drainage projects such as river levees, contour bunds, temporary canal diversion works, temporary check ... -
Field Evaluation of Level Spreaders in the Piedmont of North Carolina
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2008)Level spreaders are commonly used in combination with riparian buffers as a stormwater best management practice in many parts of the United States. These systems have not been extensively studied in urbanized environments ... -
Distribution of Discharge Intensity along Small-Diameter Collector Well Laterals in a Model Riverbed Filtration
