Case Studies

Case studies are invaluable in illustrating techniques and sharing information. Often practitioners prefer case studies for learning how to apply assessment and maintenance techniques for stormwater treatment practices. Most of the case studies listed here were provided by practitioners, and submissions of other similar case studies are welcomed.

These case studies cover the range of stormwater treatment practices and assessment levels as well as source reduction:

Case Study #1. "Monitoring a dry detention pond with under-drains" provided by C. F. Hussain, J. Brand, A. J. Erickson, J. S. Gulliver, and P. T. Weiss at the University of Minnesota.

Case Study #2. "Assessment of a proprietary underground structure for stormwater treatment" provided by M. A. Wilson, J. S. Gulliver, O. Mohseni, and R. M. Hozalski at the University of Minnesota.

Case Study #3. "Assessment of infiltration at a rain garden" provided by B.C Asleson, R.S. Nestingen , J.S. Gulliver, R.M. Hozalski and J.L. Nieber at the University of Minnesota.
