Presentations and Publications


The following is the table of contents, with links, to technical articles, reports, presentations, proceedings, and other documents associated with the (mostly) stormwater research conducted by Bob Pitt and his students over the years. They are generally sorted by main topics, but most also include information for other stormwater topics. As an example, the stormwater treatment reports also include stormwater characteristics associated with the monitoring activities.
