Advances in Modeling the Management of Stormwater Impacts

This is the fourth in the series of books from the international Stormwater and Water Quality Management Modeling Conferences, held annually in Toronto. Eighteen chapters (listed below) from the 1995 conference are presented, all peer-reviewed for relevance and clarity. The 450 page book is available in hardcover only.

This book is accompanied by a diskette with an extensive database of authors, titles and reference information on more than 1500 conference papers. Designed for Windows (3.1 and 95), the disk includes an easy-to-use program for performing Boolean searches on author and title keywords.

Contents

Models

1. Sophisticated Stormwater Quality Modeling is Worth the Effort: describes a model considerably more accurate than the current coarse modeling of stormwater pollution.
2. Calibration of SWMM-EXTRAN using Short-Term Continuous Simulation.
3. Continuous In-Stream Temperature Modeling: Integration with a Physically-Based Subwatershed Hydrology Model.
4. Reconciliation of Hydrologic Models to Coastal Flatland Watersheds: some standard hydrological methods are reconciled; accentuates SCS event methodology.
5. Operational Model Development for a Regional Municipality: for cost-effective pollution control, a new model for combined operation of a large wastewater collection and treatment system is developed.

   Data Management

6. Modeling and Monitoring Inflow Reduction Programs: includes downspout disconnection and installation of infiltration sumps.
7. A Computer Mapping Program for Sewer Systems, a detailed description of an application of a suite of advanced technologies, including GIS, digital mapping, digitalorthophotography, global positioning etc.
8. Management of Time Series Data for Long-term Continous Stormwater Modeling: argues that very long-term continuous modeling is essential when considering sustainability and ecosystem impacts, and reports on a model user survey, available time series archives and media, and the utility of linking SWMM to a time series manager.
9. The Use of Neural Networks, Principal Component Analysis and Universal Process Modeling for the Interpretation of Environmental Data.
10. An Update on Consolidated Frequency Analysis: estimates the exceedance probability of flood or low flows by deriving a common form for all distributions.
11. Regional Estimation of Sort-Duration Rainfall Distribution using available Daily Rainfall Data, based on the theory of multifractal multiplicative cascades.
12. Design Storm Events for Urban Drainage Based on Historical Rainfall Data: a Conceptual Framework for a Logical Approach, includes a brief review of the design storm approach.

    Water Quality and BMP Issues

13. Quality Control Optimization of Extended Detention Dry Ponds: a new shortcut method, which accounts for previous water still stored in extended detention dryponds.
14. Stormwater Discharge Permitting: Experiences in a Rural Western State, covers legal bases, applicability of permits, compliance, successes, precautions, and fees.
15. Retention of an Existing Wetland for Stormwater Management: A New Approach for Calgary, Alberta.
16. Estimated CSO Conventional And Toxic Concentrations from Analysis of Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Data.
17. Trace Metals Contamination of Urban Streams and Stormwater Detention Ponds, shows that trace metals accumulate to levels potentially dangerous to wildlife.
18. Software and Database Access to 1736 papers of (a) 28 European Specialty Conferences, and (b) the 6 International Conferences, on Urban Storm Drainage 1978-1994, provides access to a very large number of otherwise inaccessible papers..
