In this study, water depth measurements were collected in storm water infrastructure during rain events using a pressure based water level sensor. Irregularities within the measured water level datasets required data smoothing to prepare the observed data for calibration. A rainfall-runoff model was created using a proprietary version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Storm Water Management Model, PCSWMM, to predict the performance of recently implemented green stormwater infrastructure with respect to runoff at the site. The PCSWMM model calibration was accomplished by comparing water level data collected on site to the PCSWMM output data produced by the uncalibrated model. Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency was used to assess the performance of the calibration procedure. Sensitivity analyses of the estimated parameters were performed to assess the impacts of the model parameters on overall model output. The overarching objective of the study was to demonstrate the value of inexpensive and readily available real-time pressure based water level sensor data to calibrate a PCSWMM model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
