  1. The Manhattanville Project: Managing Stormwater Impacts Linda Sohl, Ph.D. 1; Maria Grech2; Somdat Bhola3, and Kristal Quispe41Team Principal Investigator (GISS), 2High School Teacher (NYCRI), 3Undergraduate (CIPAIR), 4High School Student (NYCRI) Quantifying peak flow and storm severity was done using the rational method. This method estimates the peak flow generated by an area, given rainfall conditions and surface runoff characteristics. Our plan for implementing GI on the Manhattanville campus. Sponsors: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) New York City Research Initiative (NYCRI) Curriculum Improvements Partnership Award for the Integration of Research (CIPAIR) Contributors: Linda Sohl, Ph. D (PI) Maria Grech (High School Teacher) Somdat Bhola (Undergraduate) Kristal Quispe (High School Student) (L) Peak flows as a result of varying rainfall return period (2-100 yrs). Peak flow reduction of 33% is achieved from GI, exceeding NYS minimum requirement of 20%. (R) Surface area distribution under a proposed green infrastructure plan with 36% permeable surfaces.
