Bob Pitt, P.E, PhD, has been at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and then at Tuscaloosa since 1987. Prior to that, he was a senior engineer for 15 years in industry and government, including at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. He continues to consult with many municipalities and government agencies. Bob has also taught workshops and was guest lecturer at several universities. He teaches courses in drainage design, water supply, hydrology, hydraulics, field sampling and experimental design, and a series on construction site erosion control and stormwater management. His main area of research is the integration of hydrology and water quality issues, especially related to urban runoff. Bob has published more than 100 chapters, books, journal articles, and major research reports and is a Diplomate of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and is a registered engineer in the State of Wisconsin.

 

John Voorhees, P.E., P.H., has been a water resources, environmental, or stormwater engineer in both the public or private sectors since 1989. He has worked with the Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources and Transportation as well as a consulting engineer for Earth Tech, JJR and Warzyn (in Madison, WI), and OTAK (in Seattle, WA). He has also taught, with Bob, urban water quality-related workshops for the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota, and the New York Department of Transportation.

Caroline Burger, P.E., has been a water resources engineer in the private sector since 2001.  She is a consulting engineer for Earth Tech (in Madison, WI), and has worked extensively with WinSLAMM as a private consultant.  She has used WinSLAMM in several community wide non-point source pollution analyses and is a WinSLAMM instructor for various entities including through the University of Wisconsin - Madison Extension and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.  Caroline also has experience in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, including community wide quantity analyses as well as site-specific design.

WinSLAMM is based upon Bob's research, including his PhD work conducted in Toronto in small storm hydrology and sources of stormwater pollutants. Much of the runoff characterization and stormwater control data used in the model is based upon his research conducted since the early 1970s and also includes results from his current research.  Much additional data and information used in the models attributed to others has also been of great importance. John has written the software for WinSLAMM and WinDETPOND and developed many of the model algorithms. He also manages the distribution of the software.

 

We are always interested in hearing suggestions for model improvements from the model users. Please email us your suggestions for consideration for future versions.  For a more complete list of our plans for model enhancements, go to the Software Updates page.
