Design Tool for Controlling Runoff and Sediment from Highway Construction

Summary:

Storm water runoff from construction sites can degrade the quality of waters in streams and lakes. To control runoff and create best management practices, developers enhanced a software tool that simulates the impact of highly variable weather conditions on runoff and erosion. The enhanced version factors in both on- and off-site construction variables, and improves modeling capabilities. Additional work is planned to further improve the user interface.
