SUSTAINABLE URBAN TECHNOLOGIES TEAM (URBAN WATERSHED MANAGEMENT BRANCH - WSWRD)
Citation:
Description:
The National Risk Management Research Laboratory's Urban Watershed Management Branch researches, develops and evaluates technologies, practices, and systems to manage risks to human health and ecosystems from Wet Weather Flow (WWF) sources in urban watersheds. The focus is on the risk management aspects of WWF research. The two teams in the Urban Watershed Management Branch dedicated to WWF research are the Sustainable Urban Technologies Team and the Watershed Management Research Team. The Sustainable Urban Technologies Team develops and demonstrates WWF control technologies for urban watersheds that remain viable and cost effective over time. The Team conducts intramural and extramural research that supports cutting-edge research and development of new tools, techniques, and processes for the management and control of WWF impacts. The Team focuses its research effort on structural and nonstructural best management practices, high-rate sedimentation and disinfection technologies, beneficial use of stormwater, dual purpose pollution and flood control, and system analysis and optimization tools that enhance the cost-effective implementation of WWF management alternatives.
