“…Torno (1986) summarized stormwater research needs as developed by conferees at an international conference on urban stormwater, yielding a total of 17 uncategorized topics. Heaney (1986) summarized research needs in urban storm water pollution, including the results of earlier studies of research needs, developing a final list of 52 unranked topics. The Water Pollution Control Federation Research Foundation sponsored a research needs assessment of nonpoint pollution ( CH2M Hill, Inc., 1990).…”

The results of a national assessment of research needs in urban wet weather flow management are presented. Three interrelated categories of urban wet weather flow management are discussed: combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflows, and urban stonnwater discharges. The initial compilation of wet weather flow research needs totaled 154 research projects, which was later reduced to 69 higher-priority research projects for which detailed literature reviews were compiled. From this group, 26 topics were selected as priority research topics. Within this paper, the results of the assessment were organized into the following ten categories: (I) sources and monitoring;(2) receiving water effects; (3) other effects; (4) management; (5) models and decision support systems; (6) watershed management linkages; (7) regulatory policies and financial aspects; (8) source controls; (9) collection system controls; and (10) storage/treatment systems. A summary of the authors' views on research needs within each category is provided. An expenditure of an estimated $20 to $40 million per year in the U.S. is needed to address the identified research needs. Water Environ. Re.'" 7],241 (1999),

Temperature in degrees Celsius (°C) may be converted to degrees Fahrenheit (°F) as follows:°F = 1.8°C +32 WATER-QUALITY UNITS Concentrations of water-quality constituents are given in milligrams per liter (mg/L) and micrograms per liter (µg/L). Milligrams per liter (mg/L) are equivalent to parts per million (ppm). Micrograms per liter (µg/L) are equivalent to parts per billion (ppb). Turbidity is given in nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs), specific conductance in microseimens per centimeter at 25°C, (µS/cm), and bacteria concentrations in colony forming units (CFU) per 100 mL. Water volume is given in units of liters (L), cubic feet (ft 3), and gallons (gal). Rainfall intensity is in inches per hour (in/hr). Loads are in mass or trillion colony forming units (TCFUs) per unit time, per storm, or per year. Yields are given in mass or TCFUs per unit time, storm, or year per unit area.

“…Without direct intervention, an increase in the quantity of runoff will also increase the pollutant loading to the aquatic system, as pollutants deposited on pavements and sur-faces in the watershed are washed and channeled into the receiving streams. For example, several heavy metals are consistently found in urban runoff at higher concentrations than the suggested limits for aquatic life (Heaney, 1986). To reduce the damage caused by this non-point source pollution, major efforts are often required to remediate the problem and maintain a sustainable water quality in the receiving streams (Whipple, 1979).…”
