Abstract: An active water storage infrastructure management facility that includes a stormwater BMP comprising a storage gallery for containing a volume of stormwater runoff, a drain system in fluid communication with the storage gallery, a liquid level sensor disposed in the storage gallery for measuring the volume of runoff water introduced into the storage gallery, a fluid flow sensor disposed on the drain system to measure a portion of the volume of runoff water exiting the drain system, and a real-time-control valve disposed proximate an outlet end of the drain system. The facility may also include a control system in electronic communication with the liquid level sensor, the fluid flow sensor, and the real-time-control valve. The facility may be used to control the outflow of runoff through the real-time-control valve so as to optimize the operation of the facility for a particular design capability.
