Synthetic Runoff Capture and Delivery Curves for Storm Water Quality Control Designs

From 1989 through 1996, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District in coordination with the University of Colorado at Denver has dedicated to the development of the concept of storm water quality runoff capture volume (QWCV). Before 1996, the major effort was to analyze tens of hundreds of individual events delimited from a continuous record. A serial of design charts and empirical formulas were published for determining the storm water capture volumes for storm water quality control designs (Urbonas, Guo, and Tucker, 1989), (Guo and Urbonas, 1996), and (Rosener, Urbonas, and Guo 1996).
