Variability of Roof Runoff Quality

Water Science and Technology, 1999
The variability of the pollution of roof runoff was investigated considering a variety of possibly influencing factors. Runoff samples were taken from an experimental roof system that allows the comparison of five different roof materials at urban background conditions, and from house roofs at five different locations in the town of Bayreuth, Germany ...

Quality of Roof Runoff for Groundwater Infiltration

Water Research, 2000
Abstract The assumption that roof runoff can be considered as non-polluted stormwater that can be discharged directly into natural water bodies without impairing their quality and use was examined in a field study. Concentrations of major ions; total C, N, and P; heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Mn, Fe) and pesticides (triazines, acetamides ...

Rainwater Runoff Retention on an Aged Intensive Green Roof [PDF]

Science of the Total Environment, 2013
Urban areas are characterised by large proportions of impervious surfaces which increases rainwater runoff and the potential for surface water flooding. Increased precipitation is predicted under current climate change projections, which will put further pressure on urban populations and infrastructure. Roof greening can be used within flood mitigation

Evaluation of Green Roofs for Runoff Retention, Runoff Quality, and Leachability

Water Quality Research Journal of Canada, 2009
Abstract This three-year study evaluates the quantity and quality of runoff from an extensive green roof on a multistory building in Toronto. Laboratory physical, chemical, and leachate analyses of eleven commercially available green roof growing media were also undertaken to help identify the potential influence that the growing media ...

Measurements of Nutrients and Mercury in Green Roof and Gravel Roof Runoff

Ecological Engineering, 2014
Abstract Green roofs are a popular stormwater management technique because they are effective in reducing runoff volume from buildings. However, this does not necessarily result in a reduced pollutant load. Runoff from experimental gravel and green roof plots and two sets of real gravel and green roofs, were analyzed for mercury, nitrogen, phosphorus,

Effects of roof and rainwater characteristics on copper concentrations in roof runoff

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2011
Copper sheeting is a common roofing material used in many parts of the world. However, copper dissolved from roof sheeting represents a source of copper ions to watersheds. Researchers have studied and recently developed a simple and efficient model to predict copper runoff rates.

Trace metals in roof runoff

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1993
In this paper we present the concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) in runoff from five different roofs (tar felt, pantiles, asbestos cement, Zn sheet, gravel) during two rainfall events. The heavy metal load of roof runoff is assessed and the different processes influencing the fate of heavy metals on roof surfaces and in roof runoff are ...
