BMP, Model, runoff

The focus of this study was to quantify and compare the hydrologic behavior of the distributed approach to stormwater management with a centralized approach. The comparisons were carried out for the Johnny Moore Creek Watershed in Fairfax, VA using the SWMM model for design storm analysis and the BMPDSS model for long-term simulations to understand the responses within the entire hydrologic domain.
