The City of Aurora, Ohio, completed a stormwater master plan to identify needed improvements to address neighborhood flooding, stream bank erosion and aging infrastructure citywide. With the change in hydrology, the city has seen an increase in flooding in flood-prone areas throughout the community.

This presentation will cover the development, testing, and application of the modeling approach of the SART and SPCT system using conditional Special Actions for simulation of both flows and water quality.

Flooding has long been a plague in the City of Brentwood along Deer Creek between Hanley Road and South Brentwood Boulevard with 26 floods since 1957, which caused significant public safety issues and property damage. The Brentwood Bound Project is a comprehensive plan to renew the Manchester Road corridor via three main components to the plan: Deer Creek Flood Mitigation, Manchester Road Improvements, and Deer Creek Greenway Connector.

A proactive stormwater planning effort seeks to address increasingly flooded roadways, neighborhoods and critical infrastructure as rapid development and intense rain events collide in North Central Texas. The study integrates stormwater, transportation, and environmental planning in an effort to reduce risk in a region growing by 150,000 people per year.

Reem Zoun, PE, CFM, Director of Flood Planning, Texas Water Development Board, will provide an update on the findings from Texas’s first ever statewide regional flood planning and the status of state flood planning effort.
