Impellitteri, C., A. Grimm, M. Hopton, AND JohnM Johnston. SSWR Research Area 10: Stormwater Management. Board of Scientific Counselors Subcommittee Meeting, NA, Virtual, May 26 - 27, 2021.
Impact/Purpose:
The upcoming Board of Scientific Counselors (BOSC) review is focused on the SSWR Water Treatment and Infrastructure (WTI) Topic, one of the three inter-related topics in the SSWR research portfolio. The WTI Topic consists of five Research Areas (RA): RA7 – Drinking Water and Distribution Systems; RA8 – Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS); RA9 – Wastewater/Water Reuse; RA10 – Stormwater Management; and RA11 – Technical Support. This presentation will provide bacground information on RA10 to the BOSC.
Description:
Wet weather planning and stormwater management research continues to focus on reducing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), managing stormwater, and using stormwater for augmenting water resources. Topics in this research area include water quantity, water quality, capturing stormwater for reuse and enhanced aquifer recharge, and topics related to cost and effectiveness, and other incentives to ratepayers—all in the context of adaptation and adaptive management. SSWR research will focus on planning and stormwater management, including aspects of green/gray infrastructure and stormwater flow control to help states, municipalities, and utilities improve water quality.
