Smada: Stormwater Management And Design Aid, Timothy M. Curran
Smada: Stormwater Management And Design Aid, Timothy M. Curran
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The Stormwater Management and Design Aid (SMADA) is a computer model formulated to assess stormwater runoff quantity and quality. Applicable theory is reviewed to introduce a discussion of the modeling methodology. A pre- vs. post-development design objective can be incorporated to evaluate runoff quantity and quality for single or multiple land use watershed. Detention and retention facilities are considered and conveyance systems for runoff transmission can be sized. Initial design assessments and consistent design review and evaluation are possible. SMADA is written in the BASIC language and is executed in the interactive mode. No computer cards are required and data …
The Effects Of Plain Sedimentation On The Quality Of Urban Stormwater Runoff From The Lake Eola Watershed, Victor Julius Godlewski
The Effects Of Plain Sedimentation On The Quality Of Urban Stormwater Runoff From The Lake Eola Watershed, Victor Julius Godlewski
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The settling characteristics of urban stormwater runoff emanating from the Lake Eola Watershed (Orlando, Florida) were evaluated through a series of 7 column studies. The percentage removal that occurred due to sedimentation was observed for various stormwater pollutants and constituents. These included the General Water Quality Parameters: Total Suspended Solids, Non-volatile Suspended Solids, Volatile Suspended Solids, Chemical Oxygen Demand, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Ammonia Nitrogen, Total Organic Carbon, and Total Phosphorus. The metals parameters: Zinc, Cadmium, Arsenic, Nickel, Copper, Magnesium, Iron, Lead, Chromium and Calcium were also considered. The results of the settling analysis indicates that the quality of Lake Eola …
Chemical Treatment Of Urban Stormwater Runoff By Settling Column Studies, Paul R. Moore
Chemical Treatment Of Urban Stormwater Runoff By Settling Column Studies, Paul R. Moore
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Lake Eola, in downtown Orlando, was the subject of extensive research to determine the impact of stormwater runoff to the lake and possible management alternatives. The focus of this research was stormwater treatment by chemical coagulation followed by detention. Phosphorus was the main parameter targeted for removal. Various chemical parameters were also evaluated included: TSS, VSS, NVSS, COD, TKN, NH3, TOC, TP, Ca, As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Mg, Zn, Fe, and Pb. The chemical coagulants used for this research included: alum, ferric chloride, and lime. The study involved settling column tests for the various treatment methods to determine stormwater …
Impact Of Highway Bridge Runoff On Adjacent Receiving Water Bodies, James E. Christopher
Impact Of Highway Bridge Runoff On Adjacent Receiving Water Bodies, James E. Christopher
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Two locations, Lake Ivanhoe and the Maitland interchange of Interstate 4, were selected to study the impact of bridge runoff on receiving water bodies. The Lake Ivanhoe location includes two similar bridges, one without scuppers and one with scuppers. The Maitland interchange site has several borr ponds which drain to Lake Lucien. Samples were collected from Lake Ivanhoe below the bridges and in the open lake away from the bridges. Also samples were collected from the east pond, west pond, and lake Lucien, at the Maitland interchange. Samples included water, sediments, plants and benthos to detect differences, if any, in …
