ASSET project: assessing sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) efficiency to reduce urban runoff water contamination

Abstract. Increase of population in the current climate change scenario requires to ensure quality groundwater available as well control possible incomes pollution into subsurface system. The objective this work was evaluate and risk infiltration surface contaminants aquifers customizing DRASTIC method including potential flood areas with high pollution. Hydrogeological, hydrochemical isotopic data compiled measured show aquifer behavior main attenuation degradation contaminants. vulnerability contamination Barcelona by direct is relatively low considering traffic. However, there a relevant area where high. Nevertheless, it required further analyses drainage network city geometry Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) already installed. knowledge hydrogeological characteristics its together identification vulnerable may lead improve installation SUDS, reducing input through these infrastructures. implementation methodology aims facilitate water users urban managers their negative effects on receiving body. In addition, outcomes application be used optimize management city.
