Pipe tanks represent important runoff retention elements of urban stormwater systems. They enable us to reduce and retain as well mitigate peak flows in the network. are often taken into account while designing spatial plan catchment areas. Hence, there is a need develop relatively quick accurate method for pipe tank dimensioning. A graphical–analytical presented paper. In assumed methodology, ...

Sustainable Development (SD) is a global role model that claims to function as a general orientation for shaping societal processes, i.e., local, regional, national and international development. This is in line with the Brundtland and justice-oriented understanding of the term. It is understood as a role model and sometimes also interpreted as a regulative ideal. However, it does not state how...

Managing excess nutrients remains a major obstacle to improving ecosystem service benefits of urban waters. To inform more ecologically based landscape nutrient management, we compared watershed inputs, outputs, and retention for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in seven subwatersheds of the Mississippi River in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lawn fertilizer and pet waste dominated N and P inputs, respect...

The contribution of atmospheric deposition to emissions of trace metals in stormwater runoff was investigated by quantifying wet and dry deposition fluxes and stormwater discharges within a small, highly impervious urban catchment in Los Angeles. At the beginning of the dry season in spring 2003, dry deposition measurements of chromium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc were made monthly for 1 yea...

Abstract Stormwater control measures (SCMs) are effective and sustainable complementary means of managing stormwater in cities. Unlike underground drainage systems, they require space on the city surface, therefore must be included initial sketches urban planning design. These often made by architects planners, who usually not trained hydrology, simple robust tools to inform their plans with re...

This study presents a global real-time control (RTC) approach for sustainable and adaptive management of stormwater. A network inter-connected devices are assumed to dynamically generate the required set-points system actuators at remote center where optimization algorithms calculate operational decision-making target values. These values activate local controllers manipulate spatially distribu...
