Theses and Dissertations
Implementation of Low Impact Development systems (LIDs) can reduce the detrimental effects of urbanization. In this study, performance of both conventional drainage system and bioretention swales LID green infrastructure was assessed. Personal Computer Storm Water Management Model (PCSWMM) was used to investigate the performance by producing runoff hydrographs. Calibration and validation were conducted with independent storm events to minimize the gap between the simulated and observed outflow. Among different sensitive parameters, saturated hydraulic conductivity, suction head, percent initially saturated, Manning’s N for impervious area, were used in calibration. Each storm event resulted coefficient of determination (R2) values of 0.656 or …
