Urban Hydrology is a series of twelve outdoor 2009 granite sculpture by Fernanda D'Agostino, installed along the Portland Transit Mall in Portland, Oregon, United States. The work is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council , which administers the work.
The runoff curve number (also called a curve number or simply CN) is an empirical parameter used in hydrology for predicting direct runoff or infiltration from rainfall excess. [13] The curve number method was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service , which was formerly called the Soil Conservation Service or SCS — the ...
SWMM 5 accounts for various hydrologic processes that produce surface and subsurface runoff from urban areas. These include: Time-varying rainfall for an unlimited number of rain gages for both design and continuous hyetographs; evaporation of standing surface water on watersheds and surface ponds; snowfall accumulation, plowing, and melting
Urban planners are increasingly exploring nature-based solutions such as temporary lagoons, ... a professor of hydrology at Stockholm University. If you reconstruct a lot of wetlands, you may ...
Urban runoff is surface runoff of rainwater, landscape irrigation, and car washing [1] created by urbanization. Impervious surfaces ( roads , parking lots and sidewalks ) are constructed during land development .

Water Sensitive Urban Design with Green Infrastructure in the bottom right corner.. Water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) is a land planning and engineering design approach which integrates the urban water cycle, including stormwater, groundwater, and wastewater management and water supply, into urban design to minimise environmental degradation and improve aesthetic and recreational appeal.
