Effectiveness of water quality benefits provided by stormwater management facilities/infiltration basin
Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) and devices are systems frequently built under assumed design performances, but rarely verified after construction. Their effectiveness in protecting the environment against pollutants carried by stormwater runoff has been extensively questioned and …

Assessing the use of exfiltration pervious pavements as a best management practice for storm water management for Lusaka urban
Stormwater management is being justified as a fundamental line of consideration in achieving sustainable urban development. Lusaka urban experiences impacts ensuing from developments in form of urban floods. This study was undertaken in Lusaka urban to assess the use of a full exfiltration pervious …

Stormwater Treatment by Two Retrofit Infiltration Practices
… Tech designed and constructed two innovative stormwater best management practices (BMPs). The goal of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a bioretention cell and a CU-Structural Soil™ infiltration trench. BMP construction was completed in July 2007. Twenty-nine precipitation …

Performance Analysis of an Urban Stormwater Best Management Practice Retrofit
… the primary objective of traditional stormwater best management practices (BMPs) was to attenuate peak runoff discharges from urban areas. There has been growing demand to construct BMPs that improve stormwater runoff quality to reduce pollutant loading into downstream water bodies. A …

Optimization of BMP Selection for Distributed Stormwater Treatment Networks
Current site scale stormwater management designs typically include multiple distributed stormwater best management practices (BMPs), necessary to meet regulatory objectives for nutrient removal and groundwater recharge. Selection of the appropriate BMPs for a particular site requires consideration …

Effect of Urban Stormwater BMPs on Runoff Temperature in Trout Sensitive Regions
While the negative impact of warm urban stormwater runoff on coldwater stream environments has been studied, little is known about the effect of urban stormwater best management practices (BMPs) on runoff temperature. A monitoring study was conducted from May through October of 2005, 2006, and 2007 …
