Importance of uncertainty analysis (UA) to estimate the degree of reliability associated with model predictions is being understood. Consequently, literature that describes various Bayesian methods for the assessment of parameter and model predictive uncertainty has been steadily rising. Applications dealing with urban stormwater management are, however, very limited. This study demonstrates su...

Particulate phosphorus (PP) is often the largest component of the total phosphorus (P) load in stormwater. Fine-resolution measurement of particle sizes allows us to investigate the mechanisms behind the removal of PP in stormwater wetlands, since the diameter of particles influences the settling velocity and the amount of sorbed P on a particle. In this paper, we present a novel method to esti...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the scale of the public health risk from stormwater runoff caused by urbanization. METHODS We compiled turbidity data for municipal treated drinking water as an indication of potential risk in selected US cities and compared estimated costs of waterborne disease and preventive measures. RESULTS Turbidity levels in other US cities were similar to those link...

This paper describes the planning, design and construction of a permeable pavement as a practical demonstration of the benefits of eco-paving in Australian environmental management. The paper addresses the use of permeable pavements as part of a Water Sensitive Urban Design that allows infiltration of stormwater, reduction of pollutants and slow reticulation of the stormwater to an ecologically...

This paper presents a comparative cross-nation study of the transition to more sustainable stormwater management (SSWM) in United States and China. Multi-level perspective multiphase models are used examine dynamics reflect on how theory explains change within federal socialist context. Instead simply differentiating two countries’ patterns by using terms such as bottom-up or top-down, we consi...
