EPA's Nationwide Urban Runoff Program Designed to Produce Useful Results
EPA's Nationwide Urban Runoff Program (NURP) is composed of 28 projects which are obtaining data on the significance and control of urban runoff to aid federal, state, and...
Urban Runoff Control Technology
As urban drainage management has moved from basic research, interest has turned to technologies suitable for the control of drainage quantity and quality. This paper summarizes, through...
Flood Routing Program
This is the fourth article in Civil Engineering�ASCE's computer series. A BASIC language program is presented for routing floods through storage reservoirs or detention basins...
Will EPA'S Nationwide Urban Runoff Study Achieve Useful Results�
Approximately 30 studies are now underway across the United States as part of the Nationwide Urban Runoff program (NURP) to evaluate the water quality significance of stormwater drainage...
Temporary Detention Cuts Storm Flow Peaks
In the Chicago area, ordinances require that the storm water runoff rate of a site after development be no more than it was before site development. This is because urbanization is often...
Urban Stormwater Management in Coastal Areas
The proceedings of the National Symposium on Urban Stormwater Management in Coastal Areas brings together the disciplines of urban stormwater management and ocean and coastal engineering....
Corps Takes New Approach to Flood Control
As urban development increased storm runoff into the Charles River, a dam built in 1910 became inadequate to protect the Boston area from flooding. Boston suffered $5,000,000 in flood...
Inflatable Dam Regulates River Level
Inflatable dams are economically feasible for maintaining a required constant water elevation on rivers and streams where flooding poses problems. Puncture resistant material, inflated...
Sediment Runoff During Highway Construction
Hydrologic data have been collected from several small streams below a highway construction project. The data have been gathered to determine the magnitude of the highway construction-sediment...
Controlling Runoff from Construction Sites
In recent years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and a number of states have been placing increased emphasis on controlling erosion and sediment-laden runoff from construction...
Residential Storm Water Management
Objectives, Principles & Design Considerations
This joint report examines the objectives, principles, and design considerations to be applied to the development of stormwater management systems to serve residential communities. Based...
