Making the Case for Tailored Stormwater Management
… be improved by evaluating alternative site stormwater management (SWM) strategies at a watershed scale and selecting the optimal strategy for a subject watershed. Tailoring a management strategy for a specific watershed may be worthwhile to minimize development costs and maximize downstream …

Operationalizing Scale in Watershed-based Stormwater Management
Watershed-based stormwater management (WSM) has been proposed as more effective for stormwater management than traditional methods of controlling stormwater, which are carried out based on jurisdictional lines at the parcel-scale. Because WSM considers the watershed as a total unit, this method is …

A stormwater management analysis of Blacksburg, Virginia
Many aspects of managing stormwater runoff were investigated for the Town of Blacksburg, Virginia, that would minimize the costly installation and environmentally damaging impacts of storm sewers as the town urbanizes. These aspects included the technical, political, financial, legal, and …

Constructed Floodplain Wetland Effectiveness for Stormwater Management
… of Opequon Creek in Northern Virginia as a best management practice (BMP) for stormwater management. The research goals were to 1) determine if wetland hydrology existed and quantify the role of groundwater exchange in the constructed wetland (CW) water budget, 2) estimate wetland hydraulic …

Sensitivity of Stormwater Management Solutions to Spatial Scale
… momentum. Designing effective and economical stormwater management practices at a watershed scale is challenging; LIDs are commonly designed at site scales, considering local hydrologic conditions (i.e., one LID at a time). A number of empirical studies have documented hydrologic and water …
