Rainfall–runoff responses were observed in a laboratory environment using rainfall simulator and 7.43 m2 green roof cassette equipped with weighing lysimeters. SWMM LID controls developed for various profile configurations based on the physical properties of composite materials. Unknown parameters affecting drainage layer adjusted calibration. The was modeled both as typical Green Roof control ...

Stormwater biofilters (also called rain gardens, bioretention systems, and bioswales) are used to manage stormwater runoff in urbanized environments. Some benefits of biofilters include flood prevention, stormwater runoff water quality improvement, and wildlife habitat. This technology has been implemented on a larger scale in southeast Australia, but cities and counties in southern California ...

Adsorption is a key water pollution remediation measure used to achieve stormwater quality improvement in Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). The level of contamination of detained sediment within SuDS assets is not well documented, with published investigations limited to specific contaminant occurrence in ponds, wetlands or infiltration devices (bioretention cells) and generally focuse...

This paper explores the spatial impact of green infrastructure (GI) location on resilience urban drainage systems by application exploratory data analysis (ESDA). A framework that integrates assessment, sensitivity and ESDA is presented applied to an catchment in United Kingdom. Three types GI, namely a bioretention cell, permeable pavement, roof, are evaluated separately simultaneously. Resili...

Microbial transformation is a vital mechanism to internally treat nitrogen (N) within bioretention cells (BRCs); nitrifying and denitrifying microorganisms are the main drivers of permanent removal. The limited research characteristics microbes in different layers during dry periods has prevented further understanding behavior cells. In this paper, high-throughput sequencing technology qPCR wer...

Low impact development (LID) practices, such as bioretention and sand filter basins, are stormwater control measures designed to mitigate the adverse impacts of urbanization on stormwater. LID treatment performance is highly dependent media characteristics. The literature suggests that often leach nutrients in effluent. objective this study was analyze different soil mixtures. Specifically, inv...

Traffic emissions contribute significantly to the build-up of diffuse pollution loads on urban surfaces with their subsequent mobilisation and direct discharge posing problems for receiving water quality. This review focuses on the impact and mitigation of solids, metals, nutrients and organic pollutants in the runoff deriving from car parks. Variabilities in the discharged pollutant levels and...
