Modelling the hydrological response of an urban watershed Diachronic analysis of the effects of land use changes on storm runoff generation in the Upper Bukit Timah basin, Singapore
This work consisted in the modelling of the rainfall-runoff relationships in the Upper Bukit Timah catchment in Singapore, in order to highlight the impacts of urbanisation on hydrology. The SWMM model, a one-dimensional physically based model especially developed for urban areas, was mainly used. …

Using Geophysics and Terrestrial LiDAR to Assess Stormwater Parameters in Vacant Lots in Philadelphia
… Protection Agency’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to predict runoff and evaluate if proposed stormwater infrastructure will reduce overflows. This study focused on the hydrogeological properties of grassy areas on and near Temple University’s main campus in north Philadelphia. The …

Hydrologic Evaluation of Low Impact Development Using a Continuous, Spatially-Distributed Model
… continuous, spatially-distributed hydrologic modeling was judged a better method to compare the response of LID, forest, and conventional development. Review of available models revealed EPA-SWMM 4.4H as the most applicable to the task. A 4.3-acre subwatershed of a local subdivision was …

Modeling of Land Use Change Effects on Storm Water Quantity and Quality in the City of Carrollton and the North Texas Area
… and second, performing a two-scale hydrological modeling approach (the US Corp of Engineers HEC-HMS model and the US Environmental Protection Agency SWMM model). Both primary components are used together as a toolkit to support the storm water management program of the City of Carrollton, located …

Development of a Hydrologic Model for an Urban Headwater Stream: The Influence of Pervious Surface Properties on Runoff Dynamics
<p>A hydrologic model was developed for the Mullins Creek (MC) catchment located on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The MC catchment is a small, dynamic urban stream system with a range of land use/land cover (LULC), an extensive and well-developed stormwater drainage …

Integrated Modeling and Optimization of Stormwater Control Measures for Sustainable Watershed Management Under Urbanization and Changing Rainfall Patterns
… where diverse land uses complicate hydrologic modeling and stormwater planning. To improve resilience in these complex systems, coupled models are essential. While SWAT and SWMM are widely used for runoff simulation, neither can independently represent both urban and rural hydrology. Moreover, …

How a dual drainage approach changes the examination of flood management infrastructure: a case study of the Chatham neighborhood of Chicago, IL
… conventional hydrologic & hydraulic simulation models such as the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) can provide effective predictions about urban flooding, the development of dual drainage models (DDM) offers a unique opportunity to improve upon traditional methods. This study investigated the …

Exploring the response of urban storm sewer system to the implementation of green roofs
… This study used the Illinois Urban Hydrologic model (IUHM) as a base model for urban sewer system, except that the IUHM model was modified to allow the overland flow to be routed from impervious to pervious areas. A mathematical model was developed to simulate the major processes affecting the …

Thermal Evaluation of an Urbanized Watershed using SWMM and MINUHET: a Case Study of Stroubles Creek Watershed, Blacksburg, VA
… Protection Agency's Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) models were utilized to simulate hourly streamflow, water temperature, and heat flux in an urban watershed in Blacksburg, VA for typical summer periods using continuous-based simulation. SWMM and MINUHET were combined in a unique, …

Reduction of pollution levels in the Chatty River through Sustainable Drainage Systems: A case study of the Bethelsdorp River sub-catchment
… mitigation measures. Hydraulic and hydrological models were constructed in PCSWMM, a stormwater management modelling software developed by Computational Hydraulics International (CHI) using the USEPA SWMM model as the ‘engine'. Both the Chatty River Catchment as a whole as well as the Bethelsdorp …

Improved understanding and prediction of the hydrologic response of highly urbanized catchments through development of the Illinois urban hydrologic model (IUHM)
… urban catchments. The Illinois Urban Hydrologic Model (IUHM) has been developed to help answer this question and improve understanding and prediction of hydrologic response in highly urbanized catchments. Urban catchments are significantly different than natural watersheds but there are …
