This guidance has been developed by integrating experience gleaned from field monitoring activities conducted by members of ASCE’s Urban Water Resource Research Council and through the development of the ASCE/EPA National Stormwater Best Management Practices Database. The manual is intended to help achieve stormwater BMP monitoring project goals through the collection of more useful and represe...

Stormwater models underpin decision-making processes in stormwater management. Runoff generation and flow routing models are now well developed and widely adopted. However, stormwater quality models are less well developed. Model calibration and sensitivity analysis are crucial in order to estimate realistic stormwater pollution concentrations. The Metropolis algorithm (Metropolis et al., 1953)...

Nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management are two objectives in managing mixed land use watersheds like those in New Jersey. Various best management practices (BMPs) have been developed and implemented to achieve both objectives. This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of selected BMPs for agricultural nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management in the Nesha...

Ecohydrology. 2017;10:e1813. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1813 Abstract The use of green infrastructure for reducing stormwater runoff is increasingly common. One under‐studied component of the green infrastructure network is the urban forest system. Trees can play an important role as the “first line of defense” for restoring more natural hydrologic regimes in urban watersheds by intercepting r...

Sustainable urban stormwater management (SUSM) is essential to sustainability. However, barriers adopting it are observed even in places where SUSM more widespread. Recent studies have evaluated strategies for overcoming some barriers. no study has systematically analyzed the available most common developing countries. Thus, this article aimed provide a literature review on these strategies. Ni...

Urban stormwater management is one of the key challenges concerning sustainability in urban areas. Sustainable (SUSM) has been increasingly adopted around world and proved its effectiveness enhancing quality life cities. Nevertheless, these strategies are yet to be widely developing countries. This paper presents barriers widespread adoption SUSM Brazil, as a country case study with severe prob...

Applications of geotextiles within tertiary stormwater treatment systems and for stormwater infiltration can provide a substrate for biofilm formation, enabling biological treatment of contaminants. Geotextiles can serve as an efficient part of stormwater filtration within the urban water environment. The project assessed the applications of three experimental granular filters as a sustainable ...
