Enhanced Parking Lot Design for Stormwater Treatment
A low impact (dispersed) design demonstrates how small alterations to parking lots can reduce runoff and pollutant loads. Storm runoff was treated as soon as rain hit the ground by encorporating a network of swales, strands and a small wet detention pond into the overall design (Figure 1). When the volume of water discharged from all the different elements to the treatment train (the swales, th...
متن کاملAccounting for surface roughness in a physically-based urban wash-off model
To date, urban wash-off models have largely ignored the role of surface roughness in controlling particulate mass loss. We propose a mechanistic model in which particles are ejected by raindrops from surface cavities and travel laterally at the velocity of the overland flow until they are recaptured. In the model, cavities of differing depth and diameter have different ejection rates. The model...
متن کاملAn Innovative Method for Spatial Quantification of Contaminant Buildup and Wash-off from Impermeable Urban Surfaces
A method was developed that employs thin boards (0.56 m) comprising different paving materials (2 asphalt types and concrete) typically used in urban environments. Boards can be placed at various locations of interest within an urban catchment to investigate accumulation of contaminants over specified periods of time. Boards are then placed under a rainfall simulator in order to generate runoff...
متن کاملA Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation
Catchment urbanisation leads to increased hydraulic and pollutant loadings into receiving waterbodies. Issues concerning pollution that endangers the sustainable utilisation of water resources have focused government authorities towards integrated catchment management, where both causes and effects of pollution are addressed. Recent research has provided a platform for improving urban stormwate...
متن کاملMathematical interpretation of pollutant wash-off from urban road surfaces using simulated rainfall.
In the context of stormwater quality modelling, an in-depth understanding of underlying physical processes and the availability of reliable and accurate mathematical equations, which can replicate pollutant processes are essential. Stormwater pollutants undergo three primary processes, namely, build-up, wash-off and transport, before accumulating into receiving waters. These processes are expre...
