The Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) has released Manual of Practice (MOP) 23, Design of Urban Stormwater Controls. The manual is being published jointly with the American Society of Civil Engineers (Reston, Va.) and the Environmental and Water Resources Institute (Reston, Va.).
Fully updated to address the paradigm shift in how stormwater is viewed and managed, Design of Urban Stormwater Controls focuses on consolidating technologies to foster a convergence between traditional stormwater controls and ‘green’ infrastructure. Another development was the recognition that both quantity and quality are inextricably linked.
Chapter subjects include the effects of stormwater on receiving waters; performance goals for stormwater controls; unit processes and operations for stormwater control; swales and strips; filters; gross pollutant traps and mechanical operations; maintenance of stormwater controls; whole-life cost of stormwater controls; performance assessment; and analytical tools for simulation of stormwater controls.
