Download or read book Development of Analytical Probabilistic Urban Stormwater Models written by Yiping Guo and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytical probabilistic urban stormwater models are closed-form mathematical equations relating statistical urban drainage system performance measures directly to meteorological parameters, system properties and design variables. These equations are formulated using derived probability distribution theory with simplified representations of the hydrologic and hydraulic processes taking place on urban catchments. The purpose of this thesis is to improve the representation of the hydrologic and hydraulic processes by existing analytical probabilistic models and to extend their use to flood control analyses. In developing the new set of analytical probabilistic models, the rainfall-runoff transformation on an event basis is described by equations which incorporate the hydrologic processes commonly considered in numerical simulation models. The peak discharge rate of a runoff event is estimated from the runoff event volume, the duration of the causal rainfall event and the catchment time of concentration. The average catchment time of concentration is used for all runoff events and is treated as a physical characteristic of the urban catchment, independent of input rainfall characteristics. Incorporating the exponential probability density functions of rainfall event characteristics, closed-form analytical expressions are derived for the return periods of runoff event volume and peak discharge rate of urban catchments. Furthermore, the water quality control performance of urban stormwater detention ponds are analyzed. Analytical expressions are derived for estimating the flow capture efficiency and average detention time provided by a stormwater quality control detention pond servicing an urban catchment. Taking into account the variable inflow and outflow rates, the detention ponds considered are those where outflow is controlled by an orifice-type structure. The flow capture efficiency is determined with the estimation of the total spill volume. The total spill volume is calculated as the combination of the event spill volume and the carryover spill volume. Thus, the carryover effect of consecutive runoff events is quantified. The analytical probabilistic approach is further extended to flood control analyses with the derivation of the probability distribution of the peak outflow rate from a flood control detention facility servicing an urban catchment. The derived mathematical expressions are used to analytically determine the storage-discharge relationship required for a detention facility to achieve the desired level of flood control. Continuous simulation of various urban catchments and detention pond configurations are conducted using Toronto historical rainfall records. Close agreement is obtained between simulation model results and those from the analytical probabilistic models developed in this thesis. Thus, the analytical probabilistic models can be used as an alternative to, or together with, continuous simulation models for the planning and design of urban stormwater management facilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents three distinct pillars for analysis, design, and planning: urban water cycle and variability as the state of water being; landscape architecture as the medium for built-by-design; and total systems as the planning approach. The increasing demand for water and urban and industrial expansions have caused myriad environmental, social, economic, and political predicaments. More frequent and severe floods and droughts have changed the resiliency and ability of water infrastructure systems to operate and provide services to the public. These concerns and issues have also changed the way we plan and manage our water resources. Focusing on urban challenges and contexts, the book provides foundational information regarding water science and engineering while also examining topics relating to urban stormwater, water supply, and wastewater infrastructures. It also addresses critical emerging issues such as simulation and economic modeling, flood resiliency, environmental visualization, satellite data applications, and digital data model (DEM) advancements.

This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by Professor Poul Harremoes Environmental engineering has been a discipline dominated by empirical approaches to engineering. Historically speaking, the development of urban drainage structures was very successful on the basis of pure empiricism. Just think of the impressive structures built by the Romans long before the discipline of hydraulics came into being. The fact is that the Romans did not know much about the theories of hydraulics, which were discovered as late as the mid-1800s. However, with the Renaissance came a new era. Astronomy (Galileos) and basic physics (Newton) started the scientific revolution and in the mid-1800s Navier and Stokes developed the application of Newtons laws to hydrodynamics, and later, St. Venant the first basic physics description of the motion of water in open channels. The combination of basic physical understanding of the phenomena involved in the flow of water in pipes and the experience gained by "trial and error", the engineering approach to urban drainage improved the design and performance of the engineering drainage infrastructure. However, due to the mathematical complications of the basic equations, solutions were available only to quite simple cases of practical significance until the introduction of new principles of calculation made possible by computers and their ability to crunch numbers. Now even intricate hydraulic phenomena can be simulated with a reasonable degree of confidence that the simulations are in agreement with performance in practice, if the models are adequately calibrated with sample performance data.
Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater written by Victorian Stormwater Committee, and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 1999-10-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
