Stormwater Runoff From Shopping Centers, Thomas P. Donigan Jan 1975

Stormwater Runoff From Shopping Centers, Thomas P. Donigan

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This is a brief investigation of stormwater runoff from a large shopping center located in Brevard County, Florida. Merritt Square Shopping Center has a parking area for 4,700 automobiles and is located on the shore of Newfound Harbor which is classified as recreation waters (Class III). A literature survey of runoff studies in other areas has been made for both "state of the art" and evaluation of findings. Water samples were initially collected from five locations. Review of the analysis of these samples indicated that while color and turbidity appeared to decrease linearly with time, organic and inorganic concentrations did …


An Application Of "Storm" Mathematical Modeling For Evaluation Of Nonpoint Source Water Pollution For A Nonurban Watershed, John T. Izzo Jan 1975

An Application Of "Storm" Mathematical Modeling For Evaluation Of Nonpoint Source Water Pollution For A Nonurban Watershed, John T. Izzo

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Today, the engineer is faced with the task of predicting and evaluating the extent of the Nonpoint Sources that pollute our waterways. A mathematical model may be an extremely useful tool in helping the engineer solve problems in the area of water resources. During the course of this investigation, a literature survey related to the Econlockhatchee River Basin and to the "STORM" mathematical modeling technique for runoff evaluation has been conducted. The latter part of this report deals with an application of the "STORM" mathematical model for predicting quantity and quality of surface runoff for the Econlockhatchee River Basin located …
