Influence of stormwater control measures on watershed hydrology and biogeochemical cycling
… provision of recreational and aesthetic value. Stormwater control measures (SCMs) are a management strategy that can mitigate these impacts urbanization, ultimately preserving those valuable stream ecosystems.</p> <p>While the effects of urban development and individual SCMs on water quantity …

Modeling Climate Change Impacts on the Effectiveness of Stormwater Control Measures in Urban Watersheds
… on the treatment performance of a very common stormwater control measure (SCM), retention ponds, was assessed. Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) systems are an unusual SCM in that they recycle and reuse stormwater, normally from rooftops, and increase water supply and reduce runoff. The efficiency of …

Evaluation of stormwater control measures for the removal and fate of legacy and emerging contaminants
… have for sediments. While efforts to control point sources have reduced pollutant inputs, nonpoint sources such as stormwater runoff continue to transport contaminants and contaminated sediments into receiving waters. Stormwater control measures (SCMs) are designed to reduce and treat …

Evaluation of Nutrients and Suspended Solids Removal by Stormwater Control Measures Using High Flow Media
… small- footprint systems. Seven full-scale HFM Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) in a residential area were monitored over 11 months to assess the removal of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Nitrogen, and Phosphorus in First Flush (FF) stormwater runoff. Excellent removal of TSS and …

Integrated Modeling and Optimization of Stormwater Control Measures for Sustainable Watershed Management Under Urbanization and Changing Rainfall Patterns
… 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, most studies …

Soil-derived dissolved organic matter cycling at terrestrial-aquatic interfaces: Implications for wetland-dominated landscapes, stormwater control measures, and drinking water supply
… in three different soil ecosystems (1) urban stormwater control measures, (2) wetland-dominated landscapes, and (3) forested drinking supply watersheds. First, anthropogenic stressors in urban landscapes are known to alter DOM cycling but few studies have explored DOM cycling from stormwater …

Urban Erosion Potential Risk Mapping with GIS
… nutrients, regulations have been put in place to control the amount of pollutant that gets discharged. Sediment is a cause for concern as it originates during both rural and urban activities, and often carries other pollutants (metals, nutrients, etc.) with it. Existing erosion models focus …

Evaluation of cost effective approaches for nutrient removal in urban stormwater and wastewater: City of Fort Collins case study
… existing nutrient discharges from wastewater and stormwater sources in Fort Collins, Colorado and evaluates the benefits and costs of nutrient removal strategies identified in both sectors as a guide to urban planners. Six alternative wastewater advanced nutrient removal technologies were modeled …

Understanding the role of scale in assessing sediment and nutrient loads from Coastal Plain watersheds delivered to the Chesapeake Bay
… of urban and agricultural runoff, a variety of stormwater control measures (SCMs) are implemented. Despite the importance of the Coastal Plain on water quality and quantity, few studies are available that focus on prediction of nutrient and sediment runoff loads from Coastal Plain watersheds. …

Regulatory and Economic Consequences of Empirical Uncertainty for Urban Stormwater Management
… mitigation of the ecological effects of urban stormwater runoff has been delegated to local government authorities through the Clean Water Act's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems' Stormwater (NPDES SW), and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) programs. These programs require that …

Improving Predictions of Stormwater Quantity and Quality through the Application of Modeling and Data Analysis Techniques from National to Catchment Scales
… eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms. Stormwater control measures (SCMs) are used to address these concerns and are designed based on inflow loads. Thus, estimating nutrient and sediment loads from developed watersheds is vitally important for meeting the impacts of urbanization. Today, …

Concentration of Suspended Solids and Nutrients in Overland Flow in Suburban Philadelphia Watersheds
… within the region for targeted implementation of stormwater control measures and community outreach about stormwater management. The focus areas consisted of upstream headwaters to four streams flowing into the Delaware River. The objective of this study was to determine sediment and nutrient …

Impacts of Stormwater Management Practices and Climate Change on Flow Regime and Channel Stability
… on the hydrologic benefits of various types of stormwater control measures (SCMs), the relationship between urbanization, widespread SCM implementation, and channel stability in headwater streams remains less explored. Additionally, the impact of climate change (CC) on SCMs, with its growing …

Evaluating the Potential for Denitrification in PICP
… eutrophication and toxic algal growth. Many stormwater control measures (SCMs) successfully manage the stormwater runoff flows, however many are ineffective at removing the pollutants present within stormwater. This has led researchers to investigate how alternative systems, such as permeable …
