The Doan Brook and Shaker Lakes Watershed is an impacted watershed in a highly developed setting. It faces problems common to surface waters in suburban or urban areas, namely excessive algal growth, sedimentation, and excessive velocities and volumes of flow during wet weather. EPA's Storm Water Management Model was used to model this watershed and to evaluate the effects of various management practices on the quality and quantity of flows in the system. Preliminary results show that the practices examined, nutrient reduction, downspout disconnection, increased street sweeping, and diversion of the first flush, may help to prevent further degradation of the system.
