Activities to protect and enhance the quality of surface water sources include conducting sanitary surveys, programs to monitor source water quality and activities to provide watershed control. Other activities that can be undertaken to protect source water include storm-water management, development and implementation of emergency response procedures (to contain and clean up spills to prevent contamination of source water). 

Design Storm Storm of specified return period and duration at a specified location, typically used for storm water management design. 

Soil Mechanics. Topics covered in soil mechanics include the physical properties of soil, the distribution of stress within the soil, soil compaction, and water flow through soil. Knowledge of soil mechanics is used by environmental engineers in connection with design and operation of sanitary landfills for solid waste, in storm water management, and in the investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. 

Hydrology. The principles of hydrology (the science of water) are used to determine flow rates for storm water management when designing storm sewers or storm water detention or retention facilities. Knowledge of hydrology is also helpful in... 

Long-term storm-water management on developed sites includes the use of structural, such as retaining walls, or nonstructural approaches, such as revegetation, to stabilize sites and prevent erosion as the site is used. 

Government. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) administers the federal Clean Water Act, which requires protection of water quality. This act establishes water-quality standards, the foundation for storm-water management requirements and, through section 319, funds implementation projects to demonstrate the effectiveness of measures to control pollution from nonpoint sources.

Heavy engineered construction Included here are projects where the owner is typically a government entity and the publicly-financed structures, facilities, or systems are major public infrastructure elements. Examples are highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, ports, harbors, dams, flood control works, water and wastewater systems, and storm water management systems. This construction...

As discussed earlier, storm water management for site development is regulated and requires adequate storage on-site for specific storm events. This is usually handled with open basins or rain gardens designed to deal with required volumes from these events. 

Storm water management continues to be a major issue in site development. There is a trend away from large basins located on a remote part of the site and toward multiple smaller infiltration beds throughout a property. This trend in the market also demonstrates a need to increase the area used for infiltration in commercial developments. This will increase the need and volume of geotextiles used in commercial developments. There will most likely be an increased area for infiltration used under driveways, parking lots, and patios. This will require innovative geotextiles that promote faster infiltration and reduce the chance of clogging when used as a filter. 

XYZ Industries, a water-products chemical manufacturing industry, serves primarily the southeastern United States. Currendy, one Central Environmental Laboratory performs laboratory services for water/wastewater treatment plant customers. Further, the Central Environmental Laboratory (CEL) also services analytical programs including phosphorus removal, municipal storm water management, and specialized metal and organic analyses.
