This study measured the extent to which land use, design, and engineering practices could reduce contamination of major public water supplies.
Key parcels of land were identified in New Jersey, and the potential uncontrolled loading of contaminants was estimated with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Long-Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment model for a variety of land use, design, and engineering scenarios.
High-density per-acre development and engineering controls, along with housing and light commercial activity near main railroads, would substantially reduce runoff.
In New Jersey, government and purveyor action is being taken as a result of, and in support of, these findings.
本研究衡量了土地利用、设计和工程实践能够减少主要公共供水污染的程度。
在新泽西州确定了关键地块,并使用美国环境保护局的长期水文影响评估模型,针对各种土地利用、设计和工程情景,估算了污染物的潜在无控制负荷。
每英亩的高密度开发和工程控制措施,以及主要铁路附近的住房和轻型商业活动,将大幅减少径流。
在新泽西州,基于这些研究结果并为支持这些结果,政府和供水商正在采取行动。
