Proceedings of an Engineering Foundation Conference, held in Snowmass Village, Colorado, August 19-24, 2001. Sponsored by United Engineering Foundation; Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 49 papers discussing the state of the art in urban stormwater management technology. Using a multidisciplinary approach, scientists, researchers, practicing engineers, and administrators detail the linkages between various best management practice (BMP) designs, their performance, and their ability to mitigate the impact of urbanization on receiving waters. Topics include: urban watershed trends; regulatory and institutional perspectives; BMPs and linkages to in-stream integrity; need for and examples of in-stream controls and habitat enhancements; policy issues related to zero and de minims impact development policies; design for sustainable water resources; information and monitoring needs to evaluate impacts mitigating potential of BMPs; and experience and science outside the United States.

Proceedings of the Soft Ground Technology Conference, held in Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands, May 28-June 2, 2000. Sponsored by the United Engineering Foundation; the Geo-Institute of ASCE. This Geotechnical Special Publication contains 37 papers representing the state of the practice in soft ground engineering. These technical papers cover laboratory and field characterization of soft ground, soft ground microstructure, stabilization methods, embankments, tunneling, geosynthetics, environmental aspects of soft ground, design and prediction methods, and behavioral mechanisms of soft soils. Several large construction projects are presented as case histories and recent developments in soft ground research are emphasized with data reported from field test sites from around the world.

Proceedings of the Tenth United Engineering Foundation Conference, held in Santa Barbara, California, November 3-8, 2002. Sponsored by the United Engineering Foundation; Water and Environmental Planning and Management Committee of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE. Supported by National Science Foundation; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Institute for Water Resources. This collection contains 14 papers that address the risk of terrorism, especially after the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. Topics include: risk and vulnerabilities of terrorism of homeland water resources system of systems; methodological perspectives of risk of extreme events; interconnectedness and interdependencies between the water resource system of systems and other infrastructures; and institutional and organizational structuring associated with risks of terrorism.
