Storm Water Utility Experience in Bellevue, Washington
Surface water management is seen as a flood protector by most, a savior of the environment by some and a subversion of property rights by others. As recently as 20 years ago, there were...
Cross Section 90's?A Profile of User Fee Funded Stormwater Utility Practices in the U.S.
The task of securing adequate tax funding to support a stormwater drainage system regarding operating and capital needs is discussed. An innovative and practical solution was arrived at;...
Continuous Simulation Modeling for Sewer Systems
The peaking-factor method of sanitary sewer design was developed to simplify the calculations in determining design flow rates. This method of analysis is conservative to the point that...
Case Study: Storm Water Analysis of Manatee Pocket in Martin County, Florida
storm water pollutant loading rates from a 6,000 acre urban watershed were analyzed for source determination of contamination to the receiving water. The receiving water body, Manatee...
Managing Stormwater with a Microcontroller Operated System
Concepts of managing urban stormwater runoff with a microcontroller operated flow control system are presented. The microcontroller system allows flexible and precise flow control from...
Assessment and Mitigation for Endangered Vernal Pool Invertebrates
The USFWS is considering declaring five species of vernal pool invertebrates endangered. Among these are the Vernal Pool Fairy Shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), the California Linderiella...
Urban Runoff and the Environment
This paper discusses complex water quality problems, including management of urban runoff. Mathematical modelling is used to asses runoff quantity and quality. Environmental impact...
Impact of Spatial and Temporal Data Limitations on the Modeling of Runoff Quantity and Quality
A small subbasin within an urbanized watershed (Reno, Nevada) was intensively monitored for runoff quantity and quality. The EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) was applied to simulate...
Projecting Customers Using a GIS Land Use Forecasting Model
The Salt River project originally developed the Land Use Forecasting Model to understand the pattern of urbanization of agricultural and desert land in metropolitan Phoenix. The model...
F. E. Everett Turnpike: An Application of MOSS
MOSS surface modeling software is being used successfully by Fay, Spofford & Thorndike, Inc., on a major project for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to make improvements...
NOISE?A Comprehensive Software Library for Highway Noise Analysis
The Noise Software Library is a collection of highway noise analysis software tools that are arranged together under a powerful file management system which provides a transparent method...
The 3D Approach to Design
Designing directly in three dimensions, including integrated analysis and information flow, is a powerful way to enhance civil engineering capabilities. Yet, relatively few have taken...
Designing in Three Dimensions for Manufacturing Facilities
Du Pont Engineering is using Three-Dimensional Design for the design of our manufacturing facilities. Our 3D design system was used on several projects in 1992, and full implementation...
A Stochastic Cost Engineering System (SCENS) Applied to Estimating and Tendering for Bill of Quantities Contracts
In many countries, contracts based on bill of quantities are very common in construction industry. Although estimating and tendering are overwhelmed by uncertainties, the common practice...
Computing with Objects: What Does Industry Hope to Gain from it
Although the need for an integration of engineering tasks has been stressed for a long time, the success that we see in this regard is very limited. We believe that there is justified...
A CAD-Based Construction Simulation Tool Kit for Construction Planning
Current planning and scheduling techniques place considerable reliance on the planners judgement, imagination and intuition. The result of such techniques is typically lengthy text reports...
