Abstract: A system, methodology, and programming logic for active stormwater controls to optimize sizing and design of Hydromodification Management (HM) structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to achieve optimal flow duration control. Control logic enables the controlled release of stormwater from a BMP in a manner most akin to pre-development flow duration curves. Inputs to this logic include: flow duration curves based on continuous hydrologic simulation for pre- and post-development conditions; real-time measurement of water level within the BMP; and real-time measurement of discharge entering the BMP. This control logic can interact with control logic for other stormwater management objectives, such as harvest and reuse, infiltration, and combined sewer overflow prevention, and respective inputs, such as real-time weather forecast data, precipitation gage data, downstream flow gauge data, and water quality data, to meet those design objectives as well.

Abstract: An automated landfill gas wellhead monitoring and control system includes a field monitoring and control system (FMCS) that receives landfill gas condition data and that controls an automated gas control valve on a wellhead as a function thereof. A remote monitoring control system (RMCS) is in communication with the FMCS and provides other data obtained from sources outside of the landfill. This additional data is used by the FMCS to control the gas control valve and the system provides a preventative configuration based on a predicted condition.

Abstract: A forecast-integrated automated control system for combined greywater-stormwater storage and reuse. A simple and reliable approach for managing greywater and stormwater collection at a household or community level is provided, allowing for the near-continuous monitoring and adjustment of water quantity and quality in a combined greywater-stormwater storage tank based on monitored feedback/output from individual, tank-specific sensors and/or sensors located elsewhere in the water collection system. Use of the forecast-integrated automated control system for combined greywater-stormwater storage and reuse enables optimization of the water quality and quantity collected in the storage tank, reduce the amount of stormwater discharged to municipal sewers, and assure/demonstrate regulatory compliance for control of stormwater runoff through the integration of a low impact development best management practices.

Abstract: In a water storage system with water conduits, water pumps, drain valves, discharge valves, for storing a first volume of water, a method of maximizing water availability monitors a second volume of water within the system. Data regarding forecasted precipitation predicted to occur at some point in the future, including a predicted duration, intensity and volume are received and an expected time-dependent volume of water to be added to the system during the forecasted precipitation is estimated. If at least one of: a first sum of the predicted volume and the second volume and a second sum of the expected time-dependent volume and the second volume is greater than the first volume then the water pumps, drain valves, and discharge valves are controlled to discharge water until each of the first and second sums is not greater than the first volume.

Abstract: A combined water storage and detention (CWSD) system for maximizing storm water control and availability for use. The CWSD system includes a plurality of water conduits, remotely controllable water pumps, water storage drain valves, auxiliary bypass discharge valves, and, in pertinent part, a storage/detention system for storing/retaining a first volume of storm and sewer drain water, a sensing device for estimating a second volume of storm and sewer drain water within the storage/detention system, the second volume being less than or equal to the first volume, a precipitation forecast device for forecasting an expected time-dependent volume of water being added to or to be added to the system, and a controller that is structured and arranged to control the operating states of the plurality of controllable water pumps, water storage draining valves, and auxiliary bypass discharge valves.
