Uncertainties of stormwater characteristics and removal rates of stormwater treatment facilities: Implications for stormwater handling [PDF]

Water Research, 2012
Stormwater runoff is a major contributor to the pollution of receiving waters. This study focuses at characterising stormwater in order to be able to determine the impact of stormwater on receiving waters and to be able to select the most appropriate stormwater handling strategy.

Impact of carwash discharge on stormwater quality (Toulouse, France) [PDF]

, 2010
The contribution of discharge from carwashes to pollutant levels in stormwater was evaluated. Five carwashes and two outlets in the city of Toulouse (France) were selected. Water samples were collected from December 2006 to December 2007.

Occurrence of coliphages in urban stormwater and their fate in stormwater management systems [PDF]

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2003
To investigate the occurrence of coliphages in, and their removal from, urban stormwater.Inflow and outflow concentrations of somatic and f-specific RNA coliphages to two stormwater treatment systems were determined on 21 occasions over a period of 5 months. Somatic coliphages were detected in 19 (90%) of the constructed wetland inlet samples, 13 (62%)

The urban stormwater farm

Water Science and Technology, 2011
Currently more than 3 billion people live in urban areas. The urban population is predicted to increase by a further 3 billion by 2,050. Rising oil prices, unreliable rainfall and natural disasters have all contributed to a rise in global food prices. Food security is becoming an increasingly important issue for many nations.

Evaluation of stormwater BMPs for implementing industrial stormwater permitting strategy

Water Science and Technology, 2010
This study assesses the performance of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) in industrial sectors and their effluent quality to facilitate the development of technology-based numerical effluent criteria. Generally, retention ponds outperform other BMP types for reducing total suspended solids, and media filter and wetland basins outperform other
