This book and software package provides a concise, practical guide for those involved in studying, planning, and designing urban stormwater management practices. The emphasis is on engineering calculations rather than theory. Many facets of stormwater management, from rainfall analysis and design storm selection procedures to runoff calculations and the evaluation of wet ponds for long-term, efficient water quality control. The book presents broadly used conventional methods and innovative techniques that are in line with current trends and needs. The book also includes the Soil Conservation Service's TR-20 computer software and a new easy-to-follow user's guide. From the Preface There has been much interest in urban stormwater hydrology during the past two decades due to the widespread recognition of the adverse effects of urbanization on stormwater runoff. During this period, many individuals and organizations developed innovative techniques to estimate and control the quantity and the water quality of urban stormwater runoff.

This manual comprises a holistic view of urban runoff quality management. For the beginner, who has little previous exposure to urban runoff quality management, the manual covers the entire subject area from sources and effects of pollutants in urban runoff through the development of management plans and the design of controls. For the municipal stormwater management agency, guidance is given for developing a water quality management plan that takes into account receiving water use objectives, local climatology, regulation, financing and cost, and procedures for comparing various types of controls for suitability and cost effectiveness in a particular area. This guidance will also assist owners of large-scale urban development projects in cost-effectively and aesthetically integrating water quality control to the drainage plan. The manual is also directed to designers who desire a self-contained unit that discusses the design of specific quality controls for urban runoff.

As our urban areas grow, so too do these unintended hydrologic consequences of both urban development and traditional stormwater management systems. To combat these issues, cities are increasingly turning to stormwater management practices that better mimic natural hydrology by capturing, infiltrating, or evapotranspiring water in a distributed fashion throughout the watershed. These low impact development (LID) practices have proven effective at locally altering the water balance, but quantitative performance can vary widely across studies and it can be difficult to untangle which site-specific characteristics (e.g., climate, soil, vegetation, microtopography, impervious connectivity) are the most important drivers of observed differences in hydrologic behavior. In order to increase the adoption and reliability of LID, there is a continued need to improve our scientific understanding of how site-specific characteristics affect urban hydrologic processes and the performance of LID practices. In this dissertation, I use a physically-based hydrologic model, ParFlow.CLM, to simulate surface and subsurface hydrology at a high (0.5m) spatial resolution on single-family parcels and explore the effects of LID practices on parcel-scale runoff, deep drainage, and evapotranspiration. First, I examine how three "impervious-centric" practices (disconnecting downspouts, disconnecting sidewalks, and adding a transverse slope to the driveway and front walk), two "pervious-centric" practices (decompacting soil and adding microtopography), and all possible "holistic" combinations affect parcel-scale hydrology. Second, I systematically explore how climate moderates the effects of these LID practices on the water balance by forcing a baseline parcel with no LID practices and a parcel with all five LID practices with one year of hourly meteorological records from the 50 largest U.S. cities plus Madison, WI. Third, I more closely examine the potential of soil amendment as a LID practice by comparing targeting soil amendment a) disconnected impervious features, b) by drainage area, c) by topographic wetness index (TWI), and d) randomly. Lastly, I determine which attributes of residential single-family parcels best predict changes in hydrologic fluxes due to infiltration-based LID practices by 1) developing a suite of typical single-family lot layouts based on property assessor data for tax parcels in Madison, WI, 2) simulating baseline and low impact versions of these lots using ParFlow.CLM, and 3) building statistical models that relate single-family lot attributes to changes in runoff and deep drainage. This research demonstrates the crucial role of impervious-pervious interfaces on urban hydrology. While these sub-parcel features are rarely captured in urban hydrologic models, they have the potential to substantially alter the urban hydrologic water balance. LID interventions which both disconnect impervious surfaces and increase the infiltration capacity of soil adjacent to these features can efficiently and effectively alter the water balance at the parcel scale. The degree of hydrologic change possible from these LID practices is largely driven by the size of all impervious surfaces, the size of the house, and the size of the street plus alley; lot attributes which can be easily identified by water resources managers as a "first-cut" for determining where to encourage LID practices on private property. When evaluating which types of LID practices to promote, it is critical to consider climate characteristics like the aridity index and, to a lesser extent, rainfall intensity and the relative timing of energy and water availability. Overall, this research offers new insights into how site-specific, subparcel characteristics interact to affect larger-scale urban hydrologic processes.

The intense concentration of human activity in urban areas leads to changes in both the quantity and quality of runoff that eventually reaches our streams, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coasts. The increasing use of impervious surfaces designed to provide smooth and direct pathways for stormwater run-off, has led to greater runoff volumes and flow velocities in urban waterways. Unmanaged, these changes in the quantity and quality of stormwater can result in considerable damage to the environment. Improved environmental performance is needed to ensure that the environmental values and beneficial uses of receiving waters are sustained or enhanced. Urban Stormwater - Best-Practice Environmental Management Guidelines resulted from a collaboration between State government agencies, local government and leading research institutions. The guidelines have been designed to meet the needs of people involved in the planning, design or management of urban land uses or stormwater drainage systems. They provide guidance in ten key areas: *Environmental performance objectives *Stormwater management planning *Land use planning *Water sensitive urban design *Construction site management *Business surveys *Education and awareness *Enforcement *Structural treatment measures *Flow management Engineers and planners within local government, along with consultants to the development industry, should find the guidelines especially useful. Government agencies should also find them helpful in assessing the performance of stormwater managers. While developed specifically for application in Victoria, Australia, the information will be of value to stormwater managers everywhere.

The primary focus of stormwater and urban runoff research during the past twenty-five years has been on the physical description and the chemical quality assessment of runoff events and the design and implementation of the best management practices to control these events. There is a definite need for more effective integration of receiving system issues in the management and regulation of stormwater runoff. This book successfully brings together a diverse group of environmental specialists to address the issues surrounding the assessment, management, and control of stormwater, and more specifically urban runoff, from a receiving system perspective. The book's emphasis on the receiving system is timely, coming during a period when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is placing increasing emphasis on wet weather conditions through a new permit program for stormwater runoff and a policy on combined sewer overflows. Stormwater Runoff and Receiving Systems covers biocriteria, assessment of receiving water integrity, and integrated watershed analysis-all aspects of current water quality management programs for both industrial and municipal areas. More than thirty chapters are divided into six sections, offering in-depth discussions on various issues relating to stormwater, urban runoff, and receiving systems; impacts; uncertainty and risk; study design; impact mitigation; and issues analysis. Anyone who deals with regulatory programs requiring stormwater effect assessment including more than sampling and analysis of chemical water quality parameters in effluents will find this reference particularly useful.

The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
