| Abstract |
This report summarized the principal findings and conclusions derived from the following five major research areas: (1) Identifying the principal water quantity and water quality impacts of urban stormwater runoff within the D.C. metropolitan area; (2) Evaluating the pollutant removal capability of various urban best management practices (BMPs) currently in use within the region; (3) Developing a predictive methodology for estimating the costs of building and maintaining stormwater ponds so that the comparative costs of various kinds of stormwater ponds could be evaluated; (4) Examining the importance of atmospheric deposition as a source of pollutants which can be eventually delivered in urban runoff; and (5) Developing and applying sophisticated watershed modeling tools to integrate NURP research into a coherent framework, so as to identify cost-effective runoff management strategies in developing watersheds. |
