Engineered Amendments for Climate-Resilient Green Infrastructure
This presentation examines the use of engineered amendments, including biochar and lightweight aggregates, to improve the resilience and performance of green infrastructure systems.
Adaptive Level Control Systems – Research on Maximizing Stormwater Pond Functionality
This presentation and discussion will help us understand the degree to which adaptive level control systems are effective at reducing contaminant load and mitigating flooding when space is limited and budgets are tight.
Can stormwater pond sediment be managed as a valuable resource instead of a costly waste?
Stormwater Management Ponds (SWMPs) provide water quality control by allowing contaminated sediment to settle out of the water column into pond basins, where they accumulate over time. Sediment removal is routinely required in order to maintain water quantity control and quality improvement efficiencies. The combined study results have led to risk based beneficial reuse of contaminated sediments, as cost effective and environmentally sustainable alternatives to waste disposal practices.
