In urban and suburban areas, stormwater runoff has been identified as a significant
contributor to water quality impairment. The quality of the stormwater and the characteristics …

Traffic emissions contribute significantly to the build-up of diffuse pollution loads on urban
surfaces with their subsequent mobilisation and direct discharge posing problems for …

Wetlands for Water Pollution Control, Second Edition, covers the fundamental science and
engineering principles relevant to the drainage and treatment of both storm and wastewater …

This book is intended to be a resource to cost-effectively assess the performance of, and

The accumulation of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in the sediment and plants
growing in a constructed wetland used to treat highway runoff in Ireland has been quantified …

Two free water surface (FWS) and two subsurface flow (SSF) pilot-size constructed wetlands
treating highway runoff (HRO) were monitored over a period of two years (September 2005 …

The long-term performance of a constructed wetland treating highway runoff has been
studied with respect to heavy metal removal in a temperate, maritime Irish climate. The …

Constructed stormwater wetlands (CSWs) are a commonly used measure for stormwater
retention and quality treatment. However, although questions have been raised about the …

Stormwater runoff from automobile trafficked areas introduces significant loads of pollutants
to receiving water bodies leading to an adverse long term effect. To control runoff pollutants …

The use of constructed wetlands (CWs) for stormwater management is growing due to the
need for sustainable water use and to prevent damage to local watercourses caused by the …
