An investigation into the performance of vegetated biofilters in removing nutrients from stormwater in the City of Cape Town, South Africa [PDF]

, 2011
In 2009, the City of Cape Town (CoCT) adopted a stormwater policy which mandates that new and existing developments should reduce the concentrations of phosphorus and suspended solids in stormwater runoff by 45% and 80% respectively, but offered no ...

Climate Change and Watershed Hydrology—Heavier Precipitation Influence on Stormwater Runoff

Geosciences, 2016
Stormwater runoff in the USA is a main driver of non-point source pollution and other major problems for urbanizing areas, and runoff effects will be exacerbated by the increased frequency and intensity of heavier storm events that are projected as ...

Multi-Level Control and Utilization of Stormwater Runoff

Applied Sciences, 2022
This study proposes the technology of “runoff storage and seepage utilization” for achieving purification of road rainfall–runoff and presents a multi-level series purification system (PBT-GR) comprising porous asphalt pavement (PAP), a bioretention system (BS), a storage tank (T) and a hydroponic green roof (GR).

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.

Evaluating the effect of city ordinances on the implementation and performance of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI)

Environmental Challenges, 2021
The replacement of natural pervious surfaces with impervious surfaces due to urbanization, construction, and development causes excess stormwater runoff and results in cities experiencing localized flooding events.

Removing nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously in stormwater runoff using permeable asphalt pavement system with a zeolite-regulated reservoir

Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination, 2020
Stormwater runoff is identified as a major source of pollution in water bodies, and to limit the impact of these pollutants on groundwater quality, permeable asphalt pavement systems (PAPS) have been built worldwide.

The Response of Runoff Pollution Control to Initial Runoff Volume Capture in Sponge City Construction Using SWMM

Applied Sciences, 2022
Source facilities can manage stormwater runoff pollutants while also limiting runoff volume in China’s sponge city construction. However, there is no apparent link between source volume control and runoff pollution reduction.
