Relative importance of impervious area, drainage density, width function, and subsurface storm drainage on flood runoff from an urbanized catchment

Hydraulic conductivity measurment for subsurface drainage system

Exploring the Linkage between Urban Flood Risk and Spatial Patterns in Small Urbanized Catchments of Beijing, China

In the context of global urbanization, urban flood risk in many cities has become a serious environmental issue, threatening the health of residents and the environment. A number of hydrological studies have linked urban flooding issues closely to the spectrum of spatial patterns of urbanization, but relatively little attention has been given to small-scale catchments within the realm of urban ...

Suspended Particle Characteristics in Storm Runoff from Urban Impervious Surfaces

Approximating phosphorus release from soils to surface runoff and subsurface drainage.

Phosphorus application in excess of crop needs has increased the concentration of P in surface soil and runoff and led many states to develop P-based nutrient management strategies. However, insufficient data are available relating P in surface soil, surface runoff, and subsurface drainage to develop sound guidelines. Thus, we investigated P release from the surface (0-5 cm depth) of a Denbigh ...

Storm Drain Effects on Urban Flooding

Urban flooding is a primary concern in all developed areas. Understanding what factors contribute to the magnitude and frequency of flooding is of primary importance when designing an engineering system to mitigate flooding. To understand the effect of impervious area versus the role of the storm drainage system in urban flooding, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydr...
