Green Infrastructure Design for Stormwater Runoff and Water Quality: Empirical Evidence from Large Watershed-Scale Community Developments
Green infrastructure (GI) design is advocated as a new paradigm for stormwater management, whereas current knowledge of GI design is mostly based on isolated design strategies used at small-scale sites. This study presents empirical findings from two watershed-scale community projects (89.4 km and 55.7 km) in suburban Houston, Texas. The GI development integrates a suite of on-site, infiltratio...
متن کاملPerformance of compost filtration practice for green infrastructure stormwater applications.
Urban storm water runoff poses a substantial threat of pollution to receiving surface waters. Green infrastructure, low impact development, green building ordinances, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) storm water permit compliance, and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) implementation strategies have become national priorities; however, designers need more sustainable, low-co...
متن کاملQUALITY IMPROVEMENT RESEARCH Methods for evaluation of small scale quality improvement projects
Evaluation is an integral component of quality improvement and there is much to be learned from the evaluation of small scale quality improvement initiatives at a local level. This type of evaluation is useful for a number of different reasons including monitoring the impact of local projects, identifying and dealing with issues as they arise within a project, comparing local projects to draw l...
متن کاملReforming Civil Engineering Education Given the Challenges Related to Infrastructure Engineering and Management
In this paper, the authors review and evaluate some of the pressing specific problems that we face as a society and that have been traditionally entrusted to civil and environmental engineers. There is ample evidence that the state-of-the practice is not sufficiently qualified to address daunting problems related to the safe and efficient performance of infrastructures with the current approach...
