Innovative Approaches for Urban Watershed Wet-Weather Flow Management and Control: State-of-the-Technology

摘要

This report documents initial efforts to identify innovative strategies for managing the effects of wet-weather flow in an urban setting. It served as a communication tool and a starting point for discussion with experts. As such, the document is a compilation of literature reviews from prior work and of content based on interviews with experts, but stops short of a definitive final analysis. Investigations of wet-weather flow treatment approaches through source control (and treatment at the source) make up its setting. Innovative systems that treat stormwater as a beneficial resource through reclamation and reuse are also explored. The effort focused on practices and technologies that can be implemented at the urban watershed management and infrastructure interface to combine cost-effective, integrated solutions. The result is a document containing urban watershed wet-weather flow management and control approaches from a national and international perspective.
