Abstract Details

2018, Master of Science, University of Toledo, Civil Engineering.
Since the industrial revolution and the mass migration of the population into urban centers, the need for impervious surfaces, roads, parking lots, and houses, has risen exponentially. While this construction is necessary, the environmental reproductions are a detriment to the human quality of life. One of the most pronounced deleterious effects of this urbanization is the man-made stormwater collection and conveyance systems. The method for handling stormwater runoff has been to capture, redirect, and release all water that enters the network. While this technique is effective in controlling flooding in areas directly adjacent to the collection points it deteriorates water quality as a whole; inhibits aquifer recharge; increases flooding downstream; and is extremely costly to construct and maintain. Implementation of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) has become an attractive option to help mitigate these negative side effects. This project demonstrates that GSI, specifically rain gardens, can be accepted by the residents and implemented at multifamily housing units to reduce runoff. As well as providing a step by step process of how to successfully gather community input, find local champions, generate support for the project, and how to install GSI at low income multifamily housing units.
