Temperature dynamics of stormwater runoff in Australia and the USA
Science of The Total Environment, 2016Thermal pollution of surface waters by urban stormwater runoff is an often overlooked by-product of urbanization. Elevated stream temperatures due to an influx of stormwater runoff can be detrimental to stream biota, in particular for cold water systems.

Stormwater is a continuing problem for both urban and rural areas. Not only does the excess runoff pose a potential flood hazard causing millions of dollars in damage each year, but it also produces environmental degradation in the form of erosion and sedimentation of lakes and streams and the transportation of water pollutants to these same water ...

Stormwater Runoff Characterized by GIS Determined Source Areas and Runoff Volumes
Environmental Management, 2010Runoff coefficients are usually considered in isolation for each drainage area with resulting large uncertainties in the areas and coefficients. Accurate areas and coefficients are obtained here by optimizing runoff coefficients for characteristic Geographic Information Systems (GIS) subareas within each drainage area so that the resulting runoff ...

Characterization of urban stormwater runoff
Water Research, 2000Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of pollutants overflow on storm events, relationships between pollutant load and runoff, and the first flush effect in urban areas. Nine watersheds in the cities of Taejon and Chongju, Korea were selected for sampling and study with different characteristics during the period ...

ENGINEERED BIORETENTION FOR REMOVAL OF NITRATE FROM STORMWATER RUNOFF
Proceedings of the Water Environment Federation, 2000A bioretention unit is a simple, plant‐ and soil‐based, low‐impact treatment and infiltration facility for treating stormwater runoff in developed areas. Nitrate, however, is not attenuated in conventional bioretention facilities. Thus, this study systematically evaluated a reengineered concept of bioretention for nitrate removal via microbial ...

Toxicity of urban stormwater runoff
2010This work involves the study of the effects of land use on the chemical composition of urban stormwater runoff, and its subsequent acute toxicity to the aquatic invertebrate Daphnia pulex. Samples were obtained from the Brunette drainage basin of Burnaby, British Columbia, from a variety of sites in the land use classifications commercial (C ...

A generalized model for stormwater runoff hydrographs
Journal of Environmental Science and Health . Part A: Environmental Science and Engineering, 1984Abstract An empirical model is presented for generating runoff hydrographs for nationwide drainage basins as a function of the drainage area, population desnity, and rainfall excess distribution. The model was tested against data obtained in a Southeast Michigan system.

Characterization of Urban Stormwater Runoff in Tianjin
2010 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering, 2010Characterization of urban stormwater runoff was carried out in commercial, residential and cultural and educational zones during 2009 rainy season in Tianjin. The pH, DO, BOD5, COD, TOC, TSS, TN, TP, NH3-N, As, Pb, Zn, Cd, LAS and fecal coliforms in stormwater runoff were analyzed.

Characterization of stormwater runoff in the powai region of Mumbai
Environmental Monitoring and AssessmentUrban stormwater runoff could be a significant non-point source of surface water pollution during India's monsoon season (June - September). This study aims to characterize the stormwater runoff in the Powai region of Mumbai and investigate interlinkages between precipitation characteristics and runoff quality.
