A brief description of the methodology/tool used to calculate the percentile local or regional rainfall events for which the institution manages runoff on-site using LID practices and green infrastructure:
We have campus stormwater models, prioritizing areas of campus drainage to campus storm sewer and areas of development. We use PCSWMM as our modeling tool.
Pleasant Street, a busy street on the East Bank campus acts as a gateway to the University. It was recently reconstructed to improve drainage design and gave the university the opportunity to incorporate sustainable storm water management to the area. The updated storm water system included tree trenches, permeable pavement, and a bioretention basin to manage the quality of water.
