ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractStream temperatures across the world are increasing due to changes in land use and climate, especially in urban areas. This leads to hydrologic urban heat islands, where higher water body…
AbstractUrban fringe is the most active and complex space in which land and ecology change under the influence of urban expansion. Green infrastructure (GI) in urban fringe areas consists mostly…
AbstractHigh urbanization adversely affects the hydrological behavior of watersheds. Therefore, different stormwater management strategies have been put forward to mitigate these negative effects. Grass swales are one of the environmentally…
AbstractQuantifying evapotranspiration (ET) and infiltration from vegetated stormwater control measures (SCMs), such as rain gardens, is necessary to physically represent their volume reduction potential. Most states and regulatory entities utilize…
AbstractGreen roofs are implemented for providing urban ecosystem services like stormwater management, but they have also been identified as a potentially significant source of phosphorus in the runoff, which may…
AbstractAdvances in green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) and extensive implementation of GSI in urban areas warrant further research by municipalities on different aspects of GSI systems (e.g., planning, modeling, design, construction, monitoring,…
AbstractRain gardens are commonly used as green infrastructure to reduce runoff volume and introduce ecological benefits to urban areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate hydrologic performance of…
IntroductionIn recent decades, advances in urban stormwater management have altered the urban landscape as communities around the world move toward implementing green stormwater management practices (SMPs) (Roy-Poirier et al. 2010). SMPs…
AbstractRoadway infrastructure is spatially extensive, linear, and by design restricts infiltration. Traffic impacts the coupled hydrology, chemistry, and loads transported by increased runoff and hydraulic stresses. Green infrastructure or low-impact…
AbstractUrbanization and population growth result in an increase of insufficient groundwater recharge. In order to overcome the adverse effects of urbanization, low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs) are…
