Introduction Of Urban Runoff? Urban Runoff is the collection of water due to impervious surfaces like roads, parking lots, and walkways. The main causes of urban runoff are landscape irrigation, and automobile washing. These surfaces, together with rooftops, transport contaminated runoff to storm drains during rain, storms, and other precipitation events rather than allowing the … Read more
Introduction Stormwater comes from heavy rain, melting snow and hail. A small amount of stormwater evaporates into the atmosphere. Much of the stormwater drains into groundwater, collects in ponds and puddles on sloping land, or contributes to surface runoff. The majority of runoff is carried as surface water into immediately neighboring streams, rivers, or other … Read more
Introduction Of Bioretention Bioretention is the cleaning process of storm water runoff. It also removes pollutants and debris. The main objective of bioretention is to reduce peak runoff and remove contaminants from storm water runoff. Description Of Bioretention Basin The designed treatment area, which typically consists of a bed of sand, a layer of filter … Read more
What Is A Rain Garden Rain garden is used to improve the amount of rain runoff that the soil is able to absorb. It is not like a traditional garden where trees are planted. Rain gardens are also called bioretention facilities. Bioretention facilities are capable of eliminating contaminated runoff from storm water. This type of … Read more
Introduction Of Infiltration Basin An infiltration basin is a percolation pond used to control stormwater runoff, avoid flooding and downstream erosion, and enhance the water quality of surrounding water channels. It is also known as recharge basin. It is simply a small man-made pond that is intended to allow rainfall to permeate into the groundwater … Read more
Introduction Retention basin is an artificial pond. Landscaping is provided along the edge of the pond. There is constant water in the retention basin. Its primary purpose is to control storm water runoff, prevent flooding, control erosive forces, create an artificial wetland, and enhance water quality in nearby bodies of water. It is also called … Read more
Tides Definition Tides are rise and fall of sea levels due to gravitational attraction between earth and moon. Due occur due to movement of sun and earth in an orbital. We are convinced that the ocean waters will routinely rise and fall along our coastlines as the sun rises in the east and the stars … Read more
What Are Floodgates? Floodgates are used to control water in various channels such as dams, rivers and canals. Floodgates are movable gates installed across the water. Water can be stop partially or completely. When a main river or canal is on the verge of flooding, floodgates in flood bypass systems can also be used to … Read more
What Is Spillway? Spillway is a device which is used to discharge extra water from the dam. It protects the dam from structural collapse. Spillway automatically discharges overflow. Spillways that can be used to control reservoir level and water flow. By releasing water gradually before the reservoir is full, operators can prevent an unacceptably large … Read more
What Is Center Pivot Irrigation? In the center pivot irrigation technique, sprinklers are used to water crops while the machinery revolves around a pivot. When viewed from above, crops frequently have a circle pattern due to irrigation of a circular area centered on the pivot. The majority of center pivots were originally moved by water, … Read more
