Abstract

The PC version of the stormwater runoff model ILLUDAS was used to simulate quantity of urban stormwater runoff in four sites in South Florida, each with a specific predominant land use (i.e., low density residential, high density residential, highway and commercial). Seventy-two storm events were used for model calibration and 26 independent rainfall events were used for model verification. Calibrated input parameters are presented with the objective of providing modelers with a way to select appropriate input parameters to be used in similar studies. Predicted hydrographs by this model compared well with measured ones. 1
