Urban Storm Water Management: Understanding Past Flows to Prepare for Future Inundations
Publication: Critical Transitions in Water and Environmental Resources Management
Abstract
What constitutes urban storm water? How do we manage it? These two questions are frequently asked, and are major issues pertaining to public health, safety, and the environment. To understand storm water and its management, a brief discussion of precipitation and the hydrologic cycle will be given followed by a definition of hydrology and hydraulics. This paper will define urban storm water and explore the impacts of urbanization and storm water management practices. Following the discussion, a brief presentation of the 12300/12600 South Design-Build roadway widening/reconstruction project in Salt Lake County, Utah will be given.
