Abstract:

<p>In many parts of the world snow melt runoff influence discharge from combined sewer overflows (CSO) and flooding in urban drainage systems. Despite this, urban snow hydrology is a field that has received little attention from the urban drainage community. The objectives of this research were to better understand urban snow hydrology and through field work and hydrological modelling quantify effects of anthropogenic activities (AA) on snow distribution, and melt in an urban environment. This means in principle how the presence (design geometry) and operation of roads and buildings influence

Abstract:

Urbanization is continuously growing all over the world. Both developing and developed countries encourage rapid expansion for increased growth and production. However, urbanization in combination with climate change can lead to higher chances of extreme flood events. Mankind always settled around rivers and floodplains that are naturally more flood prone areas, making stormwater modeling and urban planning indispensable for safety and reduction of flood risk.Until now many important studies have been conducted on the dangers of living in floodplains of urbanized cities, but most of them are a

Abstract:

The management of urban runoff has evolved along with the advancement of understanding of runoff environmental impacts. Besides the impacts on water quality in the receiving waters, the impacts on the urban hydrologic regime include reduced infiltration by the sealing of pervious land, reduced evapotranspiration by removal of vegetation, and the resulting increase of stormwater runoff peaks and volumes causing flooding, and ultimately degradation of receiving waters. In such considerations, urban stormwater management benefits from the implementation of Green Infrastructure which includes dece

Abstract:

This research introduces an approach to develop IDF relations under the context of climate change. SDSM tool is used for spatial downscaling and GEV distribution is used for temporal downscaling of GCM data. Also an empirical relationship between the extreme rainfalls and daily maximum temperature is evaluated. Developed IDF relations are used for hydrological modelling to evaluate the combined impacts of climate change and land use change on the urban catchments and urban stormwater management.

Abstract:

While many studies have evaluated the hydrologic effects of bioretention at the site level, few have investigated the role bioretention plays when distributed throughout a watershed. This study aims to assess bioretention's effects on an urbanized watershed using two modeled scenarios: one where runoff from many land uses was routed through the practice, and another in which only runoff from large impervious areas was routed. Peak flows, volumes, and lag times from these models were compared to the watershed's current and predeveloped conditions. Both scenarios provided reductions in peak flow

Quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) remains a key area of uncertainty in hydrological modeling, particularly in small, urban watersheds which respond rapidly to precipitation and can experience significant spatial variability in rainfall fields.

This study sought to compare the efficacy of multiple QPE methods when simulating discharge in a small, urban watershed on a continuous basis using an operatio

As the world becomes more urbanized and heavy precipitation events increase in frequency and intensity, urban flooding is an emerging concern. Urban flooding is caused when heavy rainfall collects on the landscape, exceeding the capacity of drainage systems to effectively convey runoff. Unlike riverine and coastal flooding, urban flooding occurs frequently, and its risks and impacts are not restricted to areas within floodplains or near bodies of water. The objective of this dissertation is to improve our understanding of urban flooding and our capability to predict it through the development

The City of Bowling Green (CoBG), Kentucky is a representative example of an area plagued by karst flooding.

Abstract:

The change in the hydrological cycle due to climate change entails more frequent and intense rainfall. As a result, urban water systems will be disproportionately affected by the climate change, especially in such urban areas as Las Vegas, which concentrates its population, infrastructure, and economic activity. Understanding the proper management of urban stormwater in the changing climate is becoming a critical concern to the water resources managers. Proper design and management of stormwater facilities are needed to attenuate the severe effects of extreme rainfall events. In an effort to d

Abstract:

The HYDROPAC model was developed to improve the technology transfer from the science of hydrology to environmental planning disciplines by initiating advanced spatial analysis techniques for predicting rainfall-runoff relationships. This model integrates the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) equations for calculating runoff and a Geographic Information System (Map Analysis Package) in a framework that allows the simulation of runoff processes over a digital elevation model. The simulations are done in discrete time steps allowing the generation of a hydrograph at any desired point in the watersh

Abstract:

This project proposes a new urban aquifer strategy that utilizes stormwater to create a cascading plaza and an improved 'great street' in Washington DC. A system of urban aquifers is developed beneath the surface of the street, perched atop the compacted, impermeable soils below. This set of aquifers prevents stormwater from entering the existing combined sewer and allows trees to draw water from this new groundwater source and develop expansive root systems. On the surface, stormwater flows through interconnected planters where it irrigates and is filtered by vegetation before infiltratin

Abstract:

Airborne multispectral video was evaluated as a tool for obtaining urban land cover information for hydrological simulations. Land cover data was obtained for a small urban watershed in Tucson, Arizona using four methods: multispectral aerial video (2 meter and 4 meter pixel resolution), National High Altitude Photography (NHAP), multispectral satellite imagery from Systeme Pour l'Observation de la Terre (SPOT), and by conventional survey. A semi-automated land cover classification produced four classes: vegetation, buildings, pavement, and bare soil. The land cover data from each classificati
