Hydrologic and soil properties of mature bioretention cells in Ontario, Canada
Water Science and Technology, 2021 Bioretention systems, which mimic natural hydrology and reduce volume of stormwater runoff, are a preferred solution for meeting water balance objectives, but lack of knowledge about the long-term performance of these systems hinders their wider adoption.

Runoff Volume Reduction Using Green Infrastructure
Land, 2021 Uncontrolled urbanization is a frequent cause behind the local flooding of catchment areas. This also results in a degradation of water quality in receivers, as well as causing a disruption of the natural water cycle in the catchment. Classical solutions,

Evaluating Spatial-Temporal Clogging Evolution in a Meso-Scale Lysimeter
Land, 2022 When surface water infiltrates soil, the fine soil particles carried in water gradually clog soil pores and form a low-permeability soil layer. Clogging impacts the variations in pore water pressure heads in soil and effective hydraulic conductivity ...

Evaluating the hydrologic and water quality performance of novel infiltrating wet retention ponds
Blue-Green Systems, 2020 Wet retention ponds temporarily store and slowly release stormwater to mitigate peak flow rates and remove particulate-bound pollutants. However, with sandy underlying soils, wet retention ponds may provide additional benefits through infiltration ...

Modelling the effect of rainfall patterns on the runoff control performance of permeable pavements
Water Science and Technology, 2021 With the implementation of low impact development (LID) in urban areas, it is necessary to quantify the actual effectiveness of LID facilities. In this study, a coupled hydrology-hydrodynamic numerical model was utilized to investigate the runoff control
