While the sources of nutrients to urban stormwater are many, the primary contributor is often
organic detritus, especially in areas with dense overhead tree canopy. One way to remove …

Microbial contamination of surface waters, a substantial public health concern throughout
the world, is typically identified by fecal indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Thus …

Urban sediment can act as a transport mechanism for a variety of pollutants to move towards
a receiving water body. The concentrations of these pollutants oftentimes exceed levels that …

An urban pollutant loading model was used to demonstrate how incorrect assumptions on
the particle size distribution (PSD) in urban runoff can alter the design characteristics of …

The presence of a first flush (FF) of suspended solids (SS) in stormwater runoff has important
implications for the design of treatment facilities, as does the particle size of solids. Whilst …

A new sample collection system was developed to improve the representation of sediment in
stormwater by integrating the entire water column. The depth-integrated sampler arm (DISA) …

A new sample collection system was developed to improve the representation of sediment
entrained in urban storm water by integrating water quality samples from the entire water …

The lack of information due to insufficient data availability and an improper sampling method
for stormwater generates constraint and uncertainty in addressing all storm events. In such …

Sampling stormwater presents unique challenges because stormwater flow is relatively
short-lived with drastic variability. Furthermore, storm events often occur with little advance …
