Runoff Characteristics of Stormwater and Washoff Water Quality from Roof and Road Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Owing to overflows from combined sewer pipe systems, water quality of receiving waters, including urban rivers, has become worse year by year. Appropriate countermeasures that can mitigate the overflows, therefore, must be developed promptly. The authors have investigated a distributed simulation model of water quality and stormwater runoff in urban sewer pipe systems. First, a surface routing model of stormwater and pollutants, which is a sub-model of the distributed model, is proposed. Second, the routing model is applied to a roof and a road surface of Matsuyama city and the applicability of the model is investigated on the basis of the comparisons of observed and simulated hydrographs.

Use of Green Roofs for Ultra-urban Stream Restoration in the Georgia Piedmont (usa)
Stormwater management has traditionally focused on the use of conveyances to quickly move stormwater runoff from urban centers into nearby rivers, streams, and lakes. The increased flow caused by impervious surface cover (ISC) leads to runoff rates that are amplified by kinematic processes as they travel through the municipality’s stormwater system. Elevated runoff volumes and rates lead to hig...
متن کاملEffects of Rainfall Intensity and Duration on the First Flush from Parking Lots
Urban stormwater with large impervious (paved) areas often produces runoff with a variety of contaminants. Although southern California is among the most urbanized coastal areas in the United States, the effect of rainfall variations on washoff efficiency of contaminants from pervious and impervious surfaces is largely unknown. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of varying rai...

The Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia is a populated area that includes a world heritage listed area. There is concern about the impact on the national parks of the pollution that may result from stormwater runoff from the roads in the area. A rainfall simulation experiment was undertaken on two areas with paved and unpaved road segments. Water quality parameters were examined, inclu...

Urban stormwater runoff is a transport medium for many contaminants from anthropogenic sources. There are many alternative management strategies available to treat these contaminants. One of the technologies suggested for this purpose is the use of permeable pavements to minimise the quantity of surface runoff generated by impervious surfaces within an urban catchment. Reported herein are the r...

Nowadays, it is a common ascertainment that stormwater runoff in the urban and interurban road network consist non-point source pollution which contributes to the degrading of the quality of water of ground and surface water bodies. Taking into account the fact that water pollution has impacts to people and also to flora and fauna, the need to take measures in order to confront this environment...
