Civil engineers use computational methods to identify LID stormwater control measures that are relevant to specific use cases. The latest technical report from American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Computational Methods in Low Impact Development Stormwater Control Measures provides a summary of current low impact development (LID) computation methods. This particular report focuses on the approaches that address hydrologic or hydraulic processes, such as runoff generation, infiltration, evapotranspiration, flow conveyance, and detention.
Beginning with a literature review of hydrologic and hydraulic processes at work in LID systems, the book also provides an overview of LID computational modeling, and H&H (hydrologic and hydraulic) models. It discusses the capabilities of common modeling tools and closes with case studies that cover several modeling methods. Civil engineers interested in hydrologic and hydraulic processes will benefit from this report and the methodologies provided.
