Pollution-free stream water and sediments are crucial to support healthy stream flora and
fauna, but urban surface runoff impairs water quality and leaves a legacy of pollution in the …

New highways are pervasive, pernicious threats to stream ecosystems because of their short-
and long-term physical, chemical, and biological impacts. Unfortunately, standard …

Highway stormwater runoff quality data were collected from throughout California during
2000–2003. Samples were analyzed for conventional pollutants (pH, conductivity, hardness …

The degree to which microbes in the water column associate with settleable particles has
important implications for microbial transport in receiving waters, as well as for microbial …

This paper discusses the results of research into the pollutants in runoff from road pavement
surfaces following natural rainfall events. Road runoff water quality was monitored at 21 …

This study investigated the effectiveness of bioretention as a stormwater management
practice using repetitive bioretention columns for phosphorus removal. Bioretention media …

Road runoff contributes an array of pollutants which degrade the quality of receiving waters.
Sediment conveyed in runoff results in loss of habitat and loss of reservoir capacity, among …

This article presents an application of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) in order
to predict the pollution in rainy weather in a combined sewer system catchment in …

Storm runoff pollution process was investigated in an urban catchment with an area of 1.3
km2 in Wuhan City of China. The results indicate that the pollutant concentration peaks …

Pollutant first flush was examined in an urban catchment with area of 12.7 ha and drained by
a combined sewer system located in northern Italy. A total of 23 rainfall-runoff events were …
