A study was conducted in western North Carolina, along the southeastern extent of U.S. trout populations, to determine the effect of storm-water wetlands and wet ponds on the temperature of urban storm-water runoff. Measurements included temperature at the inlets, outlets, and at several depths within the best management practices (BMPs). Parking lot runoff temperatures were significantly higher than the 21°C temperature threshold for trout during peak summer months and water temperatures consistently increased from the inlet to the outlet in the storm-water wetland and wet pond, implicating these BMPs as sources of thermal pollution. Despite similar inflow temperatures, effluent temperatures from the wet pond were significantly warmer than those from the storm-water wetland for the period from June to September. Substantial cooling was observed ...}, number={9}, journal={JOURNAL OF IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE ENGINEERING}, author={Jones, Matthew P. and Hunt, William F.}, year={2010}, month={Sep}, pages={656–661} }

In order to evaluate the use of rainwater harvesting systems in this region, a monitoring study was conducted at three rainwater cisterns in North Carolina, a computer model was developed to simulate system performance, and simulations were conducted for 208 l rain barrels and larger cisterns. Results of the monitoring study showed that the rainwater harvesting systems were underutilized, which was suspected to result from poor estimation of water usage and public perception of the harvested rainwater. The computer model simulated system performance by evaluating a water balance using historical rainfall data and anticipated usage. Simulation results showed that a rain barrel was frequently depleted when used to meet household irrigation demands and overflowed during most rainfall events. Simulations also illustrated the improved performance of large systems while providing an indication of diminishing returns for increased cistern capacity.}, number={10}, journal={RESOURCES CONSERVATION AND RECYCLING}, author={Jones, Matthew P. and Hunt, William F.}, year={2010}, month={Aug}, pages={623–629} }

Four bioretention areas were monitored during the summers of 2006 and 2007. It was found that smaller bioretention areas, with respect to the size of their contributing watershed, were able to significantly reduce both maximum and median water temperatures between the inlet and outlet. The proportionately larger bioretention areas were only able to significantly reduce maximum water temperatures between the inlet and outlet; however, these systems showed evidence of substantial reductions in outflow quantity, effectively reducing the thermal impact. Despite temperature reductions, effluent temperatures still posed a potential threat to coldwater streams during the peak summer months. During the summer months, effluent temperatures were generally coolest at the greatest soil depths, supporting evidence of an optimum drain depth between 90 and 120 cm. The ability of bioretention areas to reduce storm-water temperature and flows supports their application to reduce the thermal impacts of urban storm-water runoff.}, number={8}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING}, author={Jones, Matthew P. and Hunt, William F.}, year={2009}, month={Aug}, pages={577–585} }
