Description:
This paper is an urban wet weather flow (WWF) literature reviews for the year of 1999. The reviews were originally published in the annual literature review issues of Water Environment Research. Over the past year, many people were involved in preparing these urban wet weather flow reviews, many associated with the EPA?s Wet-Weather Flow Research Program. The field of urban wet weather flow research has expanded dramatically, likely due to increased interest in the US due to the NPDES stormwater permit program, plus increased awareness of the seriousness of urban WWFs throughout the world. About 1000 references are included in this review, indicating the magnitude of interest in this topic. In addition, the large number of specialized stormwater conferences that are now scheduled each year, plus the increasing number of nonpoint sessions at large international conferences. Major proceedings related to WWFs published during 1999 included: (1) National Conference on Retrofit Opportunities for Water Resource Protection in Urban Environments; (2) Comprehensive Stormwater & Aquatic Ecosystem Management, Auckland, New Zealand; (3) the Eighth International Conference on Urban Storm Drainage, Sydney, Australia; (4) Water Environment Federation 72nd Annual Conference and Exposition, New Orleans, LA; (5) American Society of Civil Engineers 26th Annual Conference, Water Resources Planning and Management, Tempe, Arizona; (6) American Water Resources Association 1999 Annual Water Resources Conference ? Watershed Management to Protect Declining Species, Seattle, WA; and (7) New Applications in Modeling Urban Water Systems, Guelph, Canada.
