Increases in urbanization have led to increased stormwater runoff and mobilization of
pollutants from urban watersheds. Discharge of these pollutants often leads to …

The improvement of rural living standards in develo** countries and the continuous
upgrading of the rural industrial economy have prompted the diversification of rural areas …

Biofiltration systems are a recommended and increasingly popular technology for
stormwater management; however there is a general lack of performance data for these …

A large-scale laboratory study was conducted to test the influence of design and operating
conditions on the lifespan of stormwater biofilters. The evolution of hydraulic conductivity …

Stormwater runoff from urban areas has multiple negative hydrologic and ecological impacts
for receiving waters. Fine media stormwater filtration systems have the potential to mitigate …

Urban stormwater contains a variety of contaminants that can adversely impact receiving
waters. Contaminants of greatest concern include compounds derived from paving materials …

Porous pavements are easily retrofitted, and effective in improving water quality and
hydrology, but prone to clogging. Despite being a major determinant in the lifespan of …

This research investigated the removal and fate of 16 USEPA priority pollutant polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from urban stormwater runoff through a bioretention cell …

Plant species are diverse in form, function and environmental response. This provides
enormous potential for designing nature-based stormwater treatment technologies, such as …

Bioretention is a novel stormwater best-management practice that uses a mixture of
soil/sand/mulch as adsorptive filtration media that can capture both urban particulates and …
