Development of a Design-Based Computational Model of Bioretention Systems
… and water quality of urban watersheds is bioretention (also known as a rain garden). Despite its wide applicability, an understanding of its multiple physiochemical and biological treatment processes remains an active research area. To provide a wide ability to evaluate the hydrologic …

Evaluation of the Impacts of De-Icing Salts on the Performance of Bioretention Media in Retaining Phosphorus From Urban Stormwater
Bioretention systems are a low impact development system that can remove pollutants such as phosphorus (P) from urban stormwater. P retention in bioretention systems is complicated in cold climate regions due to factors such as inputs of road de-icing salts. This study evaluates the impact of …

Evaluation of stormwater BMP alternatives in the Malden River Watershed
… used to generate performance and cost data for bioretention systems, swales, permeable pavement, and constructed wetlands in a portion of the Malden River watershed. Due to space constraints, bioretention systems and swales were found to have limited applicability within the streets of the study …

A Mesocosm Study of Bioretention Functionality Under Frozen Conditions
… and introduce contaminants to stormwater. Bioretention is a green stormwater management strategy designed to restore natural hydrologic conditions in urban areas by promoting infiltration and removing contaminants at the source. Bioretention technology has proven to be effective in warm …

Microplastics in Urban Environments: Distribution, Fate, and Transport
… activities intensify their presence in ecosystems. This research investigates MPs’ distribution, fate, and transport in urban environments, focusing on stormwater retention (SWR) ponds, bioretention systems (BRS), and saturated porous media. Field studies analyzed MPs in freshwater …

Strengths and limitations of bioretention sorbent amendments to simultaneously remove metals, PAHs, and nutrients from urban stormwater runoff
Bioretention is increasingly being employed as a stormwater management tool in urban areas, with the intent of using infiltration to address both water quantity and quality concerns. However, bioretention soil media (BSM) has limited removal capacity for dissolved contaminants; hence, amendments …
