Description:
Several aspects of stormwater management planning for new residential developments are investigated. Areas of research include the evaluation of pollutant accumulation and washoff data using exploratory statistical techniques; simulations to compare the relative effectiveness of various control measures and layout patterns from a small subdivision; formulation of simple stochastic models for stormwater management planning; estimation of cost models for conventional storm sewer systems; and evaluation of institutional and political problems in implementing non-conventional control measures. Analysis of existing data on street surface accumulation and washoff suggests the modification of functional forms and parameter values in current storm water simulation models such as STORM or SWMM that are used to estimate street loadings and washoff. Simulation studies, used to evaluate the effect of on-site control measures and development layout on runoff, indicate that porous pavement and interactions with subdivision layout are important in controlling runoff. Three simple stochastic models were developed to illustrate their use as preliminary planning tools.
