Stormwater Chemistry and Water Quality
نویسنده
چکیده
Components of road surface degradation are common constituents of urban runoff. Studies conducted in Europe have indicated that as much as 0.05-0. 10 inch of pavement surface is worn away from the roadway each year. The largest component of street pavement is the aggregate material itself, with additional smaller quantities originating from the asphalt binder, fillers and substances applied to the surface. The amount of material originating from roadway surfaces is dependent upon the age and type of surface, the climate of the area, and the average daily traffic loading.

متن کاملA Review on Stormwater Harvesting and Reuse
Australia is a country of some 7,700 million square kilometers with a population of about 22.6 million. At present water security is a major challenge for Australia. In some areas the use of water resources is approaching and in some parts it is exceeding the limits of sustainability. A focal point of proposed national water conservation programs is the recycling of both urban stormwater and tr...
متن کاملCharacterisation of dissolved organic matter in stormwater using high-performance size exclusion chromatography.
Understanding the complexity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in stormwater has drawn a lot of interest, since DOM from stormwater causes not only environmental impacts, but also worsens downstream aquatic quality associated with water supply and treatability. This study introduced and employed high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) coupled with an ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) ...
متن کاملCoastal water quality impact of stormwater runoff from an urban watershed in southern California.
Field studies were conducted to assess the coastal water quality impact of stormwater runoff from the Santa Ana River, which drains a large urban watershed located in southern California. Stormwater runoff from the river leads to very poor surf zone water quality, with fecal indicator bacteria concentrations exceeding California ocean bathing water standards by up to 500%. However, cross-shore ...
متن کاملWater Quality from a Mixed Land-Use Catchment in Miri, Sarawak
Urbanization has been found to impact stormwater runoff quantity and quality. A study catchment with mixed land use, residential and industrial were investigated and the water quality discharged from the catchment were sampled and tested for four basic water quality parameters; BOD5, NH3-N, NO3-N and P. One dry weather flow and several stormwater runoff were sampled. Results were compared to th...
