- Stormwater - The Water Research Foundation
Without the benefit of natural filtration, stormwater flows directly to waterbodies, storm drains, and sewer systems, taking with it any debris, chemicals, bacteria, eroded soil, and other pollutants it picks up along the way While new technologies and green infrastructure help reduce pollutant levels, many solutions are best equipped to handle
- International Stormwater BMP Database - The Water Research Foundation
The International Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Database is a publicly accessible repository for BMP performance monitoring study, design, and cost information The overall purpose of the project is to provide scientifically sound information to improve the design, selection and performance of BMPs
- Community-Enabled Lifecycle Analysis of Stormwater Infrastructure Costs . . .
CLASIC is a user-informed screening tool that utilizes a life cycle cost framework to support implementation of stormwater infrastructure, including green, hybrid green-gray, and gray infrastructure practices The CLASIC tool integrates Multiple-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), which enables consideration of co-benefits for green infrastructure
- Diversifying Water Portfolios Through Stormwater Capture and Use . . .
stormwater capture and use can add flexibility and diversity to water supply portfolios Once seen as a nuisance, stormwater is part of a modern -day paradigm shift that recognizes it as an asset There is an estimated 59 5 million acre -feet per year of stormwater runoff potentially
- Assessing the Microbial Risks and Impacts from Stormwater Capture and . . .
Stormwater capture and use (SCU) offers a wide range of benefits including enhancement of local water supplies, combined sewer overflow reductions, and stormwater runoff volume and pollutant load reductions However, lack of regulatory frameworks and consistent water quality targets serve as a barrier to implementation of stormwater use projects
- Economic Framework and Tools for Quantifying and Monetizing the Triple . . .
The Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Benefit Cost Framework and Tool (Tool) provides stormwater practitioners with a systematic approach for quantifying and monetizing the financial, social, and environmental benefits of GSI at the community, watershed, or neighborhood scale
- International Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Database
The International Best Management Practices Database is a searchable, online database that provides access to best management practice (BMP) performance data in a standardized format for roughly 200 BMP studies Database listings include basic test site information, a list of analytical parameters for the BMP, and PDF files that include key characteristics of the study, detailed statistical
- Advancing Benefits and Co-Benefits Quantification and Monetization for . . .
stormwater management, reduce nuisance floodi ng, reduce irrigation needs, increase property values, and create long-lasting jobs for the local economy GSI is an equitable approach for wet weather impacts because it is a tool that can mitigate situations that tend to disproportionately
