Book Synopsis Urban Stormwater Management in the United States by : National Research Council
Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Book Synopsis Using Plants for Stormwater Management by : Dana Nunez Brown
Download or read book Using Plants for Stormwater Management written by Dana Nunez Brown and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subtropical climate of the Gulf South supports a varied abundance of flora, and this diversity is sustained by the ample amount of rainwater that characterizes the region. Managing rainwater in a planned environment and mitigating its effect on human habitation can test the skills of even the most seasoned landscape architect or designer. That challenge has never been more acute as increased human demand for natural resources compels professionals and home gardeners alike to seek out sustainable ecological solutions. In this guidebook, Dana Nunez Brown details ways to manage each drop of rainwater where it falls, using a cost-effective and environmentally sensitive approach. Under natural conditions, rainfall primarily percolates into the ground and flows as groundwater until it is absorbed by trees and other vegetation, after which it is evaporated into the atmosphere and the cycle starts anew. Brown identifies plants and techniques that leverage this natural process in order to filter, clean, and slow runoff, a practice known as Low Impact Development. Using Plants for Stormwater Management presents the native ecological communities and plant species of the Gulf South in easy-to-follow sections and diagrams. Information ranging from the productiveness of root structures and the compatibility of plants with local soils to the optimal elevation of specific vegetation and the average dimensions of foliage is represented by graphic icons for quick and easy identification. An accessible and essential resource, this book gives both novices and experts the know-how to harness rainfall and create beautiful, ecologically functioning landscapes.

Book Synopsis A Holistic Stormwater Management System Using a Multi-criteria Approach by : Atisha Gopichund
Download or read book A Holistic Stormwater Management System Using a Multi-criteria Approach written by Atisha Gopichund and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural landscapes have the innate ability to accommodate runoff after severe rainstorms. However, rapid urbanisation creates impermeable surfaces, preventing natural infiltration of rainfall therefore influencing runoff volumes and impacting on the ability for natural stormwater management. Without proper consideration and planning, there is the risk that the capacity of existing natural systems will be exceeded to the point of failure, an unfortunate circumstance prevalent in urban areas. The primary objective of this study was to develop an integrated stormwater management system using the principles of multi-criteria approach in order to identify critical stormwater problems and respective solutions. The key findings of the study indicated that the capacity of the current stormwater management system is constrained with evidence of surface ponding and damage to property in addition to existing stormwater infrastructure. Therefore, the selection of stormwater management interventions using a multi-criteria approach was necessary in order to limit excessive surface runoff and damage to property within the business park environment. The study area is located in Samrand, Gauteng, South Africa on the Olievenhoutbosch farm.

Book Synopsis Urban Stormwater and Flood Management by : Veeriah Jegatheesan
Download or read book Urban Stormwater and Flood Management written by Veeriah Jegatheesan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together the experiences of engineers and scientists from Australia and the United Kingdom providing the current status on the management of stormwater and flooding in urban areas and suggesting ways forward. It forms a basis for the development of a framework for the implementation of integrated and optimised storm water management strategies and aims to mitigate the adverse impacts of the expanding urban water footprint. Among other topics it also features management styles of stormwater and flooding and describes biodiversity and ecosystem services in relation to the management of stormwater and the mitigation of floods. Furthermore, it places an emphasis on sustainable storm water management measures. Population growth, urbanisation and climate change will pose significant challenges to engineers, scientists, medical practitioners, policy makers and practitioners of several other disciplines. If we consider environmental and water engineers, they will have to face challenges in designing smart and efficient water systems which are robust and resilient to overcome shrinking green spaces, increased urban heat islands, damages to natural waterways due to flooding caused by increased stormwater flow. This work provides valuable information for practitioners and students at both senior undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Book Synopsis Effectiveness of Natural Vegetated Areas for Stormwater Treatment by : James Weldon McDonald
Download or read book Effectiveness of Natural Vegetated Areas for Stormwater Treatment written by James Weldon McDonald and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban development activity leads to increased non-point source pollution in the form of stormwater runoff. Sediment, nutrients, and toxic pollutants in stormwater runoff have adverse effects on receiving water bodies. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) are used to mitigate the effect of non-point source pollution. Vegetative filter strips (VFS) are a non-structural BMP that use sedimentation, infiltration, filtration, and biological uptake to treat stormwater pollutants. Two natural VFS with single-family residential contributing drainage areas were monitored from June 2008-June 2009. The VFS are located on the Glen Rose formation common to the Hill Country of central Texas. Runoff volumes and quality are compared before and after natural VFS treatment. Volume reduction by infiltration was found as the most successful VFS treatment mechanism. Average volume and peak flow rate reductions ranged from 75-97% and 45-97% respectively. Removal effectiveness of total suspended solids, nutrients and metals was found to vary with influent concentration. Performance of 18 natural VFS was qualitatively reviewed during the monitoring period. Rainfall intensity and contributing drainage area stabilization were found to affect VFS performance.
