Delineating High-Resolution Urban Drainage Systems for Stormwater Management in the Neponset River Watershed
The natural environment and manmade infrastructure must be considered when characterizing hydrology and water quality in urban watersheds. This requirement is critical in stormwater management, which must account for how water flows above ground and underground through stormwater infrastructure. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is expanding its set of online web tools for application in urban watersheds. The new tool will be used to support stormwater management and pollutant estimation in the Neponset River Watershed, an industrialized area south of Boston, Massachusetts. Development of this watershed-scale tool in the publicly-accessible StreamStats web application supports all of the towns within the watershed. Many of these towns are identified by the state as Environmental Justice (EJ) populations, or communities more vulnerable to environmental hazards because of limited resources.
