Low Impact Development (LID) for Linear Transportation Projects |
摘要: |
Low Impact Development (LID) is a developing storm water management strategy in which you try to mimic the predeveloped hydrologic functions of an area. In doing so, LID includes features that reduce the volume and rate of storm water runoff. In reducing the amount of runoff, the hydrologic function of streams may be preserved and in some cases restored to their natural condition. The Stochastic Empirical Loading and Dilution Model (SELDM) is currently being developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and it is designed to use stochastic methods to simulate various conditions and this model can be used to estimate the potential for LID Best Management Practices (BMPs) and conventional BMPs to affect the quality, quantity, and timing of runoff. If information and statistics that quantify the effectiveness of various BMPs are available for use with SELDM decision makers will be able to address potential needs/effectiveness of these BMPs for highway-runoff discharges using a simple point-and-click interface. This research will provide quantitative measures that can be used by State departments of transportation (DOTs) to evaluated and implement best practices for utilizing LID in a transportation corridor. |
