Institutional Aspects of Stormwater Quality Planning
Planning and implementation of programs to control the quality of stormwater runoff in urban areas are carried out within institutional frameworks that directly influence the effectiveness...
Institutional Stormwater Management Issues
Research, innovation, and structure performance are necessary components of an overall stormwater management program, but program success or failure rests on its institutional framework....
Summary of Institutional Issues
The paper presents a summary of three other papers presented at the meeting on institutional aspects of stormwater quality planning. The three papers represented views expressed by representatives...
Source Control of Oil and Grease in an Urban Area
We explored a variety of techniques to remove oil and grease from urban stormwater runoff. Previous work has shown that relatively high concentrations and substantial mass loadings of...
Program to Reduce Deicing Chemical Usage
Over the years (since about 1948), the dependency on deicing chemicals has been increased to provide 'bare pavement' for safe and efficient winter transportation....
Source Tracing of Toxicants in Storm Drains
Sources of toxic chemicals in storm drains are often difficult to locate and even more difficult to control. Receiving environment chemistry, storm drainage maps, land use information,...
Program on Advanced Technology for the Highway (PATH)
This paper describes a program of research, development and demonstration of advanced technologies for the automobile/highway system created in California, under the general direction...
Systems for Artificial Recharge of Ground Water
Design and management of infiltration systems should be adapted to local conditions of water quality, climate, soil, hydrogeology, and environmental constraints. Aspects to be considered...
Reclamation's Recharge Projects: California-Nevada
Under the High Plains States Groundwater Demonstration Program, the Bureau of Reclamation has recommended construction of 21 projects in 17 western states. The projects contain technical...
Feasibility of Artificial Recharge to the Oakes Aquifer, Southeastern North Dakota
Based on measured well yields, initial surface infiltration rates, and ground-water quality, the Oakes aquifer can support a large-scale artificial recharge-irrigation project. An aquifer...
Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR): A Potential Solution to the Eutrophication of Florida's Lake Okeechobee
Progress and preliminary results of a demonstration project of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) are discussed. Formed in 1985, the Lake Okeechobee Technical Advisory...
Wastewater Recharge: Water Quality and Operations
The Green Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility began operations in its current configuration in 1981. It treats approximately 1 million gallons per day of municipal wastewater, with disposal...
Artificial Recharge of Urban Storm-Water Runoff
The disposition of selected contaminants in the soils, in the percolating water, and in the recharge-mound water of five retention/recharge basins was investigated in Fresno, California....
Quality Changes of River Rhine and Meuse Water Upon Basin Recharge in the Netherlands' Coastal Dunes: 30 Years of Experience
A wide spectrum of quality changes of river Rhine and Meuse water is presented, on a global scale after pre-treatment, dune infiltration and post-treatment. Attention is focussed on the...
Ground Water Recharge at United Water Conservation District, Ventura County, California
For more than 60 years United Water Conservation District and its predecessor district have recharged seven ground water basins in Ventura County, California with more than 2,100,000 acre...
An Approach to Quality-Orientated Management of Catchment Areas with Artificial Ground Water Recharge
In the Federal Republic of Germany the artificial ground water recharge is primarily used to replenish the ground water resources for municipal drinking water supply. Only in some cases...
Assessment of the Adequacy of the Ground Water Monitoring Program for Artificial Recharge of Aquifers in the Los Angeles Area, California
Artificial recharge of aquifers in the Central and West Coast ground water basins of Southern California is accomplished by the application of water, including reclaimed water, to spreading...
Artificial Recharge with Imported and Reclaimed Waters in Central and West Coast Basins of Los Angeles County
Since 1952 over 4,000,000 acre-feet of imported water and reclaimed waste water have been purchased to recharge the ground waters of the Central and West Coast Basins of Los Angeles County....
Ground Water Management: Los Angeles Coastal Plan
In the early 1950s sea water intrusion became a serious problem and led to adjudication of the ground waters and the construction of an injection barrier to sea water intrusion. The general...
Ground Water Recharge at the Orange County Water District
In the early part of the century, upstream diversions from the Santa Ana River were reducing the flows to Orange County resulting in less recharge to the Basin and increased pumping of...
