Description

Stormwater ponds have traditionally been designed to manage water quality and mitigate flooding for specific design storms (e.g., 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year events). While effective, these systems often fall short in adapting to the nuanced demands of individual storm events due to technological constraints at the time of their development. Advances in communications technology, cloud-computing, weather forecasting, and sensor integration have made it possible to optimize stormwater infrastructure for each individual storm event with Continuous Monitoring and Adaptive Control (CMAC). CMAC technology monitors the local weather forecast, compares the forecast runoff to existing field conditions by reading on-site sensors, and automatically controls the timing and rate of stormwater discharge. In Florida, CMAC systems have been deployed on a site-by-site basis to improve water quality and mitigate flood risk.
