Outlining 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 considers water flowing above ground and below ground through stormwater networks. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with support from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is expanding its...
