Title: A family of analytical probabilistic models for urban stormwater management planning

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20014915

This paper presents the synthesis of over fifteen years of research on the topic of analytical probabilistic models, as an alternative approach to continuous simulation, that have been derived for the performance analysis of urban runoff quantity and quality control systems. These models overcome the limitations imposed by single event modeling through the use of long term rainfall records and are significantly more computationally efficient and less cumbersome than other methods of continuous analysis. These attributes promote the comprehensive analysis of drainage system design alternatives at the screening and planning levels.
