Technical Reports & Applied Studies

Selected technical reports, project documents, and applied studies that connect research, modeling, and engineering practice across Green, Grey, Blue, and Intelligent domains. Many of these works synthesize methods, case studies, and recommendations for agencies, practitioners, and communities.

Role of Technical Reports in GGBI

Technical reports often capture details that do not appear in journal articles: modeling assumptions, design criteria, calibration results, site histories, and practical considerations. Within the GGBI Framework, these documents:

Show how Green, Grey, and Blue measures are implemented in real settings.
Provide context for case studies featured in teaching and outreach.
Document the application of hydrologic, hydraulic, and hydrodynamic models.
Support agencies and communities in making informed decisions.

This page offers a place to gradually assemble such materials as they are prepared for sharing.

Access and Future Additions

Some technical reports may be publicly available, while others may be internal to agencies or project partners. As permissions allow, links to full reports, executive summaries, or selected figures will be added here.

Over time, this section can also reference materials that connect directly to the Application pages (Urban Stormwater, Watersheds, Estuaries & Coasts, Flood Resilience, Data & Models) and to course materials in the Teaching section.
