The expected performance of Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) is typically quantified through numerical models based on hydrologic parameters and physics-based equations. With models, the choice a spatio-temporal discretization scheme for computational domain strenuous task that requires extensive calibration potentially lab-based experimentation. GSI has high temporal dynamics due to natural, anthropogenic, climatic processes are not well represented by traditional which calibrated...
Abstract Accurately delineating both pluvial and fluvial flood risk is critical to protecting vulnerable populations in urban environments. Although there are currently models frameworks estimate stormwater runoff predict flooding, often minimal observations validate results due the quick retreat of floodwaters from affected areas. In this research, we compare contrast different methodologies for capturing extent order highlight challenges inherent current methods flooding delineation. This...
Abstract The longevity and resilience of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) over time is a key concern as municipalities around the world move to incorporating GSI into management strategies. Villanova University bioinfiltration rain garden (BRG) was constructed retrofit an existing parking lot traffic island in 2001 has been monitored since 2003, providing long hydrological data record that valuable for in‐depth analysis rainfall characteristics response. goal this research use assess...

ABSTRACT The peak intensity that occurs during a storm event can drive the performance of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), which may or not align with expected GSI. Both volume and where it within an are found to influence GSI response. design criteria set expectation how well will manage watershed. Villanova University bioinfiltration rain garden (BRG) has been monitored since 2003, providing long hydrological data record is used study local observed rainfall patterns in comparison...
The Schuylkill River Watershed in southeastern PA provides essential ecosystem services, including drinking water, power generation, recreation, transportation, irrigation, and habitats for aquatic life. impact of changing climate land use on these resources could negatively affect the ability watershed to continually provide services. This study applies a hydrologic model assess change water Basin. A was created within Structural Thinking Experiential Learning Laboratory with Animation...
This investigation examines green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) performance data and environmental features through machine learning to identify drivers in the built environment that impact sustainability of GSI.
