To date, the knowledge benefits that can result from growing abundance of measured stormwater data have yet to be fully realized within industry. Obstacles due format and storage, retrieval, quality control limited size impact accessing known data, resulting in are often siloed by project or objective, which inhibits advancements our understanding, as well decision making information sharing ac...

Urban runoff volumes and flow peaks are likely to increase in the future owing climate change–driven effects on rainfall continued urbanization. Actionable planning estimates that anticipate these impacts needed assess stormwater management infrastructure requirements minimize ecosystem services. This study presents a planning-level simple simulation tool quantifies benefits of green practices ...

Clogging of permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP) due to the sediment contained in stormwater runoff has been shown to significantly reduce their infiltration capacity over time. Numerous studies have used laboratory-based PICP models and synthetic stormwater in an attempt to replicate and predict the clogging processes that occur in PICP field installations. A variety of sediment ty...

Impervious area increase by urbanization and flash flood climate change lead to abrupt in urban stormwater, unlike the past. Currently, street trees play a significant role environmental improvement such as green space, heat reduction, air pollution reduction. In addition, transpiration from leaf canopy an water cycle significantly impacts decrease stormwater runoff. this study, canopy, earlier...

1. Urban drainage systems fal into two categories: “separated” systems where stormwater and sewage is reticulated in separate reticulation systems; and “combined” systems where the same pipes are used for both. The report deals exclusively with the urban litter problems associated with the stormwater conduits and streams in a country where the stormwater and sewage are always (theoretically at ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are the digital representation of topographic and/or manmade features located on the surface of the earth. DEMs are widely used for hydrologic analyses, resource management, transportation planning, earth sciences, and environmental assessment. Increased use of DEMs in these wide-ranging applications has led to greater need for higher resolut...

The paper presents a novel methodology (RICH, Ranking and Identification of Chemical Hazards) for ranking and identification of xenobiotic organic compounds of environmental concern in stormwater discharged to surface water. The RICH method is illustrated as a funnel fitted with different filters that sort out problematic and hazardous compounds based on inherent physico-chemical and biological...

Green roof technology is recognized for mitigating stormwater runoff and energy consumption. Methods to overcome the cost gap between green roofs and conventional roofs were recently quantified by incorporating air quality benefits. This study investigates the impact of scaling on these benefits at the city-wide scale using Washington, DC as a test bed because of the proposed targets in the 20-...
