Seminars
What can learn from stormwater manhole sumps?
Using historical data and modeling software originally developed to look at hydrodynamic separators, researchers have gained insight to the stormwater sediment concentrations and particle distributions. In the process, they have also learned some lessons on clean out frequency.
Research to practice: Lessons in resilience from monitoring urban stormwater transportation systems
Stormwater management lessons learned from the research will be presented to include both performance and the challenges of a long-term transportation project.
Establishing a geodata standard for stormwater infrastructure
This presentation will provide an update on the status and availability of the data standard and point to documents and data that can be downloaded to enhance understanding of the work.
