A Milwaukee Model for LID Hydrologic Analysis

Calculations for the preferred approach have been formulated in a spreadsheet that allows the user to input the amount of retention provided by each of several kinds of LID components, and then see immediately a recalculated hydrograph that reflects the predicted effect of the aggregate retention volume. The spreadsheet, which has been dubbed the ”LID Quicksheet”, is expected to be incorporated along with its documentation into the MMSD stormwater management guidance.

BURBS Spreadsheet (nitrogen mass balance)

BURBS is a Lotus 1-2-3 version 2 spreadsheet that helps you to construct a nitrogen mass balance for a residential area in a place like Long Island. Much of the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain is similar to Long Island:

* Significant surplus of precipitation over evapotranspiration.
* High soil and subsoil infiltration rates.
* Flat terrain, leading to very little overland runoff except from impervious surfaces.

3-PG Forest Growth Model

Land Cover Changes (Trending/Predictive Watershed Parameter Analysis)

3-PG calculates the radiant energy absorbed by forest canopies and converts it into biomass production. The efficiency of radiation conversion is modified by the effects of nutrition, soil drought (the model includes continuous calculation of water balance), atmospheric vapour pressure deficits and stand age. The carbon produced by the canopy is allocated to leaves, stems and roots, using dynamic equations that update the state of the system on a monthly time step.
