Stormwater Management Model Analysis On The Effectiveness Of Low Impact Development Controls For Suburban Lid Designs In Brookings, South Dakota, Anne M. Salazar

Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Students Plan B Capstone Projects

Urbanization’s influence the features of a watershed’s subcatchments. The soil’s low permeability causes a decrease in infiltration and storage and an increase in runoff. The management of peak runoff and stormwater quality must follow SCMs. LID controls provide natural practices for handling stormwater management. This study used the LID controls of traditional drainage, vegetative swales, and bioretention cells to handle the runoff quantity and quality resulting from a 5-year storm event and a 100-year storm event. The SWMM modelled and analyzed the effectiveness of each model to remove the most of three pollutant loads: TSS, lead, and nitrate. When compared …
