Zusammenfassung: | Fifty-three years of historical precipitation data were applied to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to conduct hydrologic and hydraulic simulations, generating continuous stream flow hydrographs in the receiving stream channels. On-site BMP and regional detention criteria were selected to allow postdevelopment replication of predevelopment peak flow frequency exceedance curves and the critical portions of shear stress duration curves. Instream continuous stage data generated by SWMM were used to examine erosion potential through the use of an erosion potential index. Coarse stream bed material were found to be less sensitive to changes in erosion potential due to urbanization, and extended detention ponds designed for flood control and water quality treatment were effective in reducing erosion potential. These controls were less effective in reducing erosion potential of fine loam bed material, indicating reductions of runoff volumes are required to minimize increases in channel erosion. Findings indicate that regional analysis based on local hydrologic and geomorphic characteristics are necessary to identify appropriate storm-water control requirements. |
