Expansive soils are widely distributed around the world. They have significant characteristics of both hygroscopic expansion and water-loss shrinkage, which have caused serious damage to road paving, construction of low-rise houses, and construction of slopes along the banks of rivers. Similarly, the implementation of low impact development measure...

Green infrastructure (GI) is an increasingly utilized method to treat stormwater pollutants, but little evidence exists regarding its performance at the watershed-scale. Blueprint Columbus is an effort by the City of Columbus, Ohio, USA, to retrofit bioretention and permeable pavement into existing developed areas. Changes in water quality resultin...

Large directly connected impervious parking areas are a common feature of commercial developments. Despite their prevalence in the United States and beyond, limited research has investigated the potential for green stormwater control measures (SCMs) to mitigate runoff from these areas. To address this konwledge gap, a paired watershed study was per...

Landscape patterns significantly affect urban runoff pollution, and a reasonable arrangement of pervious patches in urban catchments is critical to control urban non-point-source pollution. Low impact development (LID) can be recognized as a pervious surface type, and many previous studies have analyzed the LID performance at a system scale. Howeve...

In the recent century, a process of urbanization has increased globally. Previously rural or natural land have been converted into impervious surfaces to make way for housing, industries, and roads. This anthropogenic process has resulted in an increased amount of surface runoff from precipitation, so-called stormwater. Stormwater can accumulate a ...

Many publications include references to reliability, risk and resilience, specifically within the context of climate change and rapid urbanization. However, there is a considerable gap between theory and actual implementation by drainage professionals. As such, most drainage professionals will not have an appreciation of a drainage system's respons...

In this study, we explore the use of unsteady transit time distribution (TTD) theory to model solute transport in biofilters, a popular form of nature-based or “green” storm water infrastructure (GSI). TTD theory has the potential to address many unresolved challenges associated with predicting pollutant fate and transport through these systems, in...

Stormwater infrastructure designers and operators rely heavily on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to simulate stormwater and wastewater infrastructure performance. Since its inception in the late 1970s, improvements and extensions have been tested and evaluated rigorously to verify the accurac...

The Science of the total environment
Road runoff is contaminated by various micropollutants and may be treated using low impact development techniques, such as stormwater biofilters. Better understanding the processes, such as filtration, sorption and leaching, which affect pollutants in these systems is essential to reliably predicting treatment performance and optimizing system desi...
