Description
- Benefits of Active Control of Green Stormwater Infrastructure using Hydrologic Models: Bernard Bahaya, University of Toledo; Abhiram Mullapudi - University of Michigan. EPA’s Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) was used to represent an existing green stormwater infrastructure site i.e. a vegetative swale, with active control. A valve and electric actuator were added to the swale's underdrain to provide the capability for active control i.e real-time control (open or close) in response to ambient conditions. Initial SWMM simulations were carried out for selected design storms and continuous rain gage data with the underdrain valve open or closed. - Creating Green Networks of community Assets in our Post-Industrial Cities: Jennifer Missett, Biohabitats, Inc.; The Baltimore City Department of Planning is creating a Green Network Plan that will transform vacant lands into community assets –parks, trails, urban forest, stormwater practices, complete streets, economic redevelopment zones, and urban farms. This presentation will describe the planning process and how it is applicable to Midwestern cities.
