Abstract/Description
CASCADE 2001 is a multi-basin flood routing program used in areas of flat terrain. CASCADE was used for different situational elements including the Florida Keys, Broward County, and Pensacola. The goal for this screening tool was to create flood inundation watershed mapping for the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). After showing the risks of flooding that could occur in Florida, the thought of how useful CASCADE can be in other environmental conditions. The Rocky Mountains...
Show moreCASCADE 2001 is a multi-basin flood routing program used in areas of flat terrain. CASCADE was used for different situational elements including the Florida Keys, Broward County, and Pensacola. The goal for this screening tool was to create flood inundation watershed mapping for the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). After showing the risks of flooding that could occur in Florida, the thought of how useful CASCADE can be in other environmental conditions. The Rocky Mountains were selected to show the effect of flood inundation that can be mirrored in an opposite condition from prior experimentation. We chose to test this program in an area with mountainous terrain like the region of Grand Lake, Colorado. Rainfall, in collaboration with groundwater tables, ground soil storage and topography have the most effect on the CASCADE modeling program. Effects that were not used in the Florida models but added for Grand Lake included snowmelt. Snowmelt in the Rocky Mountains affects the flow of the Colorado River causing excess discharge that flows throughout the valleys and into Shadow Mountain Lake. WINSRM was a recommended model that could be used to simulate snowmelt during different months of Colorado’s spring season. The effects of snowmelt and rainfall flooding can be compared in relation to each other.

Conceptual design of a best management practice retrofit project in a small urban watershed

Conceptual design of a best management practice retrofit project in a small urban watershed.
Creator
Chilson, Michael., Florida Atlantic University, Nix, Stephan
Abstract/Description
Across the state of Florida, stormwater retrofit projects have been gaining increasingly more attention in recent years, mainly due to the effects stormwater and non-point source pollution have shown to have on the environment. Many retrofit projects focus mainly on "end-of-pipe" solutions with little regard for watershed behavior and the nature of the drainage system's deficiencies. This report focuses on an intimate understanding of watershed behavior and how the knowledge gained by such an...
Show moreAcross the state of Florida, stormwater retrofit projects have been gaining increasingly more attention in recent years, mainly due to the effects stormwater and non-point source pollution have shown to have on the environment. Many retrofit projects focus mainly on "end-of-pipe" solutions with little regard for watershed behavior and the nature of the drainage system's deficiencies. This report focuses on an intimate understanding of watershed behavior and how the knowledge gained by such an understanding can be a valuable tool in designing an effective stormwater management system. A case study is presented involving a small urban watershed in the Town of Davie, Florida. An intense site investigation was performed followed by a modeling procedure using the Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Management Model. The knowledge gained was applied to building an understanding of the drainage system and its deficiencies, and developing a tailored set of solutions for both quality and quantity.
