Welcome to Robert Pitt's Webpage
Our research group is mostly supported by research grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, municipal governments, and several industries. One current project is examining emerging methods that can be used to identify inappropriate discharges to storm drainage systems. Another project is compiling stormwater NPDES monitoring data from throughout the US. Our progress reports and preliminary data for these projects are included here.

WinSLAMM - Detpond
These two computer programs were created to estimate the total discharge conditions of stormwater for a variety of watershed conditions. Pollutant and flow sources can be calculated, along with the effects of source area and outfall controls. This link contains user manuals and other background information for these models.
