Characterization of Stormwater Runoff in Residential Catchments
(University of Washington Water Center, 2004-02-06)Engstrom will discuss stormwater runoff from residential catchments. She will describe a study that monitored natural drainage systems in Seattle. She will consider construction, performance, and application of knowledge ... -
Environmental Limitations to Vegetation Establishment and Growth in Vegetated Stormwater Biofilters
(University of Washington Center for Urban Water Resources Management, 1998)Over 100 bioswales have been constructed in King County over the past ten years to treat runoff associated with residential, commercial and light industrial development. Water level fluctuation, long-term inundation, erosive ... -
Just When We Were Getting It Right: Stormwater Management for the 21st Century in the Pacific Northwest
(University of Washington Water Center, 2007-02-14)Booth will review development in the Puget Sound region. He will ask: have landscape-scale changes resulted in a landscape-scale of mitigation? The answer: not exactly. Mainly, we use end-of-pipe detention systems. Even ... -
Puget Sound "Above the Fold" - A Reporter's Perspective
(University of Washington Water Center, 2008-09-30)McClure will present some key environmental issues facing the Puget Sound area, including: loss of species diversity, water pollution, stormwater management, and cleanup efforts. He will also discuss the importance of ... -
Stormwater Management
(University of Washington Water Center, 2004-01)This fact sheet introduces stormwater management. It reviews the following methods of managing stormwater: peak-discharge control, duration control, detention ponds, infiltration ponds and bypass pipelines. -
A Survey of Ditches Along County Roads for Their Potential to Affect Storm Runoff Water Quality
(University of Washington Center for Urban Water Resources Management, 2000-07)Twenty years of research have demonstrated that the water quality of stormwater runoff can improve after flowing in a well-vegetated channel, relatively slowly, at a depth below the vegetation height. These channels are ... -
The University of Washington Permeable Pavement Demonstration Project -- Background and First-Year Field Results
(University of Washington Water Center, 1996)Our study of permeable pavements has evolved from a growing recognition of the limitations of traditional stormwater management. To keep water in the soil we must allow access of water to that soil across much of the ... -
Urbanization and the Natural Drainage System -- Impacts, Solutions, and Prognoses
(University of Washington Water Center, 1991)This paper describes the causes and effects of urban-induced changes to the hydrology of a drainage basin. To understand the cause of change, the hydrologic behavior of the undisturbed basin first will be explained. The ... -
Vegetated Stormwater Facility Maintenance
(University of Washington Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2000-12)This study had three objectives and associated work components: Component 1 -- assess routine highway ditch cleaning alternatives ("Service Levels") for water quality benefits; Component 2—survey biofiltration swales to ... -
