Abstract
This report presents the findings of the three-year Denver Regional Urban Runoff Program. This program studied the nature of urban runoff, its influence on receiving waters, and possibilities for control in the Denver region. Urban runoff characteristics in relation to land use are discussed. The effects of urban runoff on receiving waters are evaluated and compared to municipal discharges over the same time period. The results were developed into predictive, planning tools which can be used to estimate urban runoff quality, quantity and receiving water effects. Best Management Practices (BMPs) for runoff control are also discussed along with strategies for assurance of the most effective regional solution.
