Significant infrastructure integration is demonstrated with the project’s collection and storage of runoff, stormwater infiltration that recharges groundwater resources, decreased neighborhood flooding and backups, and reduced stormwater entering the collection system. ...
For the two most extreme rainfall events, runoff was generated by a combination of infiltration-excess and saturation-excess processes. ...
NACWA Applauds Udall, Edwards for Reintroduction of Innovative Stormwater Infrastructure Legislation Yesterday, Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) and Representative Donna Edwards (D-MD) re-introduced legislation to provide critical support to innovative stormwater strategies, improving our ability to effectively manage polluted runoff and sewage overflows while relieving pressure on ...
The design will replace the parking lot with a campus common area featuring two rings of retention basins to infiltrate stormwater runoff, five underground cisterns to harvest runoff and HVAC condensate from the adjacent buildings, and a translucent shade structure with an ephemeral water feature. ...
The plan estimates that, through collection, infiltration, and storage, stormwater runoff will be reduced from the site by 70 – 80 percent. ...
This project involves construction of a green storm water infiltration system at the beach, and will reduce E. coli and nutrients. Runoff will be conveyed from E. coli sources to a 0.5-acre green stormwater infiltration area along the Galien River. ...
This test method evaluates RECPs and their means of installation to 5.1.1 Reduce soil loss and sediment concentrations in stormwater runoff under conditions of varying rainfall intensity and soil type, and; 5.1.2 Improve water quality exiting the area disturbed by earthwork activity by reducing suspended solids. ...
Storm gardens function as street side depressions containing planted native vegetation and are designed to capture runoff from impervious surfaces like roofs, streets and parking lots, allowing runoff to naturally be absorbed into the ground, filtering out the pollutants. ...
Green alleys look identical to standard concrete alleys, but feature porous paving that allows for improved infiltration of storm water runoff. Ultimately, the green alleys will help improve water quality, reduce flooding and ponding throughout the development, and will promote better groundwater recharge. ...
His unique contributions are in modeling: infiltration, chemical transfer to runoff & macropores, scaling across soil types, management effects on soil, and agricultural systems. ...
Highlights include overall energy reduction of 40%; a GreenGrid® modular green roof and subsurface infiltration system to eliminate runoff; light tubes, large windows, and maximized building orientation to capture daylight; and a closed-loop geothermal HVAC system. ...
Farmers and soil scientists routinely monitor the nutrient content of the soil in farm fields so that fertilizer application can be managed to maintain profitability and to minimize runoff or infiltration. Loss of excess nutrients can elevate levels in streams and shallow groundwater. ...
Pesticides used in farming can contaminate surface and ground waters through a number of means: runoff, infiltration and leaching, for example, and can have a range of impacts depending on how they are dispersed. ...
(Photo courtesy iNest) LID practices are intended to manage urban stormwater runoff at its source. The goal is to mimic the way water moved through an area before it was developed by using design techniques that infiltrate, evapotranspirate, and reuse runoff close to its source. ...
