Spatial arrangement of stormwater infiltration affects partitioning of subsurface storage and baseflow timing
Urban stormwater management is using distributed facilities that treat stormwater near where it falls at an increasing rate. These facilities are often designed to infiltrate water that would have previously been conveyed overland. By directing water that would have previously made it to receiving …

MONITORING STORMWATER INFILTRATION IN A VACANT LOT COMPARING TIME-LAPSE ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION AND ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY TOMOGRAPHY
… urban areas can potentially be used for stormwater management because they are pervious. However, the extent to which vacant lots provide pervious cover to increase infiltration and reduce stormflow is poorly understood. The goal of this study was to develop faster methods for monitoring …

Treatability of emerging contaminants in wastewater treatment plants during wet weather flows
… examined. The study focuses on the effects of stormwater infiltration, the inflow into sanitary systems and the amounts and treatability of targeted pharmaceuticals. Stormwater is a known source of many contaminants and could mix with wastewater through stormwater infiltration and inflow (I & …

Investigating the Water Budget and Subsurface Hydrology of Two Rain Gardens in Calgary, Alberta
… incorporates impervious surfaces that prevent stormwater from infiltrating into the soil. Rain gardens are a form of low impact development technology that mitigate some of these effects by promoting natural stormwater infiltration. Rain gardens have extensively been researched in warm and …

Stormwater treatment during infiltration and its effect on shallow urban groundwater quality in the Cape Flats Aquifer: field study and soil-column experiments
… a commitment to become a water sensitive city. Stormwater harvesting and recharge of the Cape Flats Aquifer are steps toward both commitments. This study formed part of a larger transdisciplinary research project where a stormwater detention pond in Mitchell's Plain, Cape Town was retrofitted …

Pervious Concrete: A Hydrologic Analysis For Stormwater Management Credit
… pervious concrete's ability to permit water infiltration has encouraged its use as a stormwater management tool. However, the material has suffered historically poor support due to a number of factors, including failures due to poor mix design and improper construction techniques, concern …
