Challenges in Urban Runoff Control (Planning, Implementation and Simulation)

摘要

Areawide planning for water pollution management has been undertaken in a majority of metropolitan areas under Section 208 of PL 92-500. Urban runoff considerations have been an issue in many of these areas. In an effort to promote long-range conjunctive quantity and quality planning, a dozen seminars, workshops, and conferences hosted by areawide planning agencies were conducted at widely separated urban centers across the country. Reported are responses to points raised at these presentations plus findings from the monitoring of four on-going local jurisdiction master planning projects. The postponed role of stream standards and the implications of their future enforcement are examined. Plan flexibility, cost allocation, available technology, scale of investments and technical interrelationships are considered.
