Selected papers from the BMP Technology Symposium: Current and Future Directions, presented at the 2004 World Water and Environmental Congress held in Salt Lake City, Utah, June 28–July 1, 2004. This report presents examples of BMP (Best Management Practice) options for use in the management of urban watersheds. With both case studies and technical information, it details the state of the science and offers BMP designs as well as guidelines for monitoring, selection, implementation, and cost. This work will be beneficial to landscape architects, city planners, watershed managers, and environmental and civil engineers.

Sponsored by the Stormwater Best Management Practices Maintenance Task Committee of the Water Supply, Wastewater, and Stormwater Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE Inspection and Maintenance of Stormwater Control Measures describes the functions and operations of stormwater control measures, offers trouble-shooting suggestions, and provides valuable information on the implementation of inspection and maintenance procedures. Topics include Maintenance Guidelines and Protocols Tiered Inspection and Maintenance Vegetated Conveyance Practices Filtration and Infiltration Practices Surface Storage Practices Literature Review Findings, andNational BMP Survey results and recommendations. The field of stormwater management has experienced exponential innovation over the last decade. Unlike the treatment technologies implemented to address point source pollution, non-point source pollution controls have no universally agreed upon maintenance protocols. Despite lack of universal maintenance protocols many states and municipalities have made regular inspection and maintenance of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) an ongoing legal requirement. The various maintenance tasks required for BMPs may serve to not only meet legal requirements, but also to ensure proper BMP function and to prevent flooding and negative impacts to adjacent infrastructure. Engineers, landscape architects, land planners, stormwater professionals, asset managers, maintenance personnel, and government officials will find this guidance document a valuable resource in inspection and maintenance planning, as well as in the field.

Changes in land use and land cover can have many drivers, including population growth, urbanization, agriculture, demand for food, evolution of socio-economic structure, policy regulations, and climate variability. The impacts of these changes on water resources range from changes in water availability (due to changes in losses of water to evapotranspiration and recharge) to degradation of water quality (increased erosion, salinity, chemical loadings, and pathogens). The impacts are manifested through complex hydro-bio-geo-climate characteristics, which underscore the need for integrated scientific approaches to understand the impacts of landscape change on water resources. Several techniques, such as field studies, long-term monitoring, remote sensing technologies, and advanced modeling studies, have contributed to better understanding the modes and mechanisms by which landscape changes impact water resources. Such research studies can help unlock the complex interconnected influences of landscape on water resources in terms of quantity and quality at multiple spatial and temporal scales. In this Special Issue, we published a set of eight peer-reviewed articles elaborating on some of the specific topics of landscape changes and associated impacts on water resources.
