Nonstationary Impacts on Urban Watersheds
Session ID#: 76386
Session Description:
Over the coming decades, global population is expected to grow rapidly and much of that growth will occur in urban and suburban areas. Climate change may aggravate the negative effects of population growth by deteriorating water quality and increasing the risk of floods and droughts, thereby adversely affecting flood-prone communities and impaired water bodies. The goal of this session is to focus on advances in understanding the impacts of nonstationary stressors on urban runoff quantity and quality. We invite studies on a range of urban climate-water systems, including land use/land cover prediction, hydrologic and stormwater modeling and optimization, groundwater-surface water interactions, and resiliency and reliability of management strategies (e.g., best management practices) in the face of nonstationarity in urban watersheds. Interdisciplinary research involving complex multi-scale relationships among hydrology, hydrogeology, climate, ecology and society that have implications for flood management, water supply and public health in urban watersheds are particularly invited.
