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.

Effect of different MIT rainfall event division methods on volume capture ratio of annual rainfall based on bioretention assessment

Water Science and Technology, 2023
Volume capture ratio of annual rainfall (VCRAR) is the key parameter of low-impact development (LID) facilities design, which is significantly affected by the rainfall event division method. However, there is no universal agreement on how to determine an

Assessment of Infiltration Swale Performance as a Low-Impact Development Technique in Tropical Coastal Environments

Coasts, 2023
Operation of source control measures (SCM) in urban drainage in tropical/transitional climates are still a challenge because of higher rain volumes and more intense rains, as well as constraints from sea-level interference. In this study, the performance

Pollutant first flush identification and its implications for urban runoff pollution control: a roof and road runoff case study in Beijing, China

Water Science and Technology, 2021
First flush is a common phenomenon in urban runoff pollution. Typical cement roof and asphalt road runoff in Beijing, China were monitored for 2 years. Based on the M(v) curve, the suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP)

Influence of urban runoff pollutant first flush strength on bioretention pollutant removal performance

Water Science and Technology, 2022
Bioretention is commonly used for runoff pollution control. The first flush strength of pollutants can affect bioretention performance. To examine the influence of the first flush strength on bioretention performance, bioretention columns filled with ...

Assessing the characteristics of different-sized particles in the first flush of roof runoff

Water Science and Technology, 2023
The first flush occurs during urban runoff events. In this study, we aimed to assess the characteristics of different-sized particles in the first flush of roof runoff, and runoff was collected from an asphalt roof (AR), metal roof (MR), and cement roof (

Experimental study on the hydraulic performance of the horizontal main drain of building drainage systems with solid waste

Journal of Hydroinformatics, 2023
Water–air two-phase flow has been the theoretical basis of traditional building drainage systems. However, with the popularization of water saving devices, more research investigations need to be performed on the impact of solid waste on drainage systems.
