Low-impact development practices to mitigate climate change effects on urban stormwater runoff: Case study of New York City
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a climate change impact study on urban stormwater runoff in the Bronx River watershed, New York City, and investigate the potential for low-impact development (LID) controls to mitigate the impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Systematic Review of Quantitative Resilience Measures for Water Infrastructure Systems
Sangmin Shin,Seungyub Lee,David R. Judi,Masood Parvania,Erfan Goharian,Timothy N. McPherson,Steven J. Burian +6 more
TL;DR: A critical review of quantitative approaches to measure the resilience of water infrastructure systems, with a focus on water resources and distribution systems shows that resilience measures have generally paid less attention to cascading damage to interrelated systems, rapid identification of failure, physical damage of system components, and time variation of resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Effects of Climate Change on Urban Storm Water Runoff Using Statistically Downscaled Precipitation Data and a Change Factor Approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change on urban storm water runoff in the Bronx River watershed in New York City were studied using 134 general circulation models (GCMs) from the fifth phase of the coupled model intercomparison project (CMIP5) for a future time period of 2030-2059.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new open source platform for lowering the barrier for environmental web app development
Nathan R. Swain,Scott D. Christensen,Alan D. Snow,Herman Guillermo Dolder,Gonzalo E. Espinoza-Dávalos,Erfan Goharian,Norman Jones,E. James Nelson,Daniel P. Ames,Steven J. Burian +9 more
TL;DR: An approach that lowers the barrier to web app development in the environmental domain by addressing each hurdle is introduced and an open source implementation, a development and hosting environment for environmental web apps called Tethys Platform is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal design of low impact development practices in response to climate change
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation-optimization framework is proposed to find the optimal design of low impact developments (LIDs) under climate change, which is applied to the Velenjak watershed.
