Bioretention is a popular stormwater management strategy that is often utilized in urban
environments to combat water quality and hydrological impacts of stormwater. This goal is …

In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the application of Nature-based
systems (NbS) for mitigation of environmental pollution in cities. NbS namely bioretention …

Stormwater runoff has been suggested to be a significant pathway of microplastics to aquatic
habitats; yet, few studies have quantified microplastics in stormwater. Here, we quantify and …

Microplastic pathways in the environment must be better understood to help select
appropriate mitigation strategies. In this 2-year long field study, microplastics were …

Extensive time and financial resources have been dedicated to address nonpoint sources of
nitrogen and phosphorus in watersheds. Despite these efforts, many watersheds have not …

Lake Erie supplies drinking water to more than 11 million consumers, processes millions of
gallons of wastewater, provides important species habitat and supports a substantial …

Low impact development (LID) is a land development strategy for managing stormwater at
the source with decentralized micro-scale control measures. Since the emergence of LID …

Storm-water pollutants are widely recognized as a major cause of surface water quality
degradation. Most storm-water treatment efforts have focused on capture of particles and …

Biochar has been increasingly used as a filter medium in engineered low impact
