The soil column was structured to simulate the sunken lawn and three processes were simulated, including rainfall and runoff process, surface erosion and vertical infiltration process, pollutant migration and transformation process. Results show that sunken lawn is a sink and has significant effects for stormwater pollution. The overall reduction rates of CODCr, TN and ammonia is 71.01±1.75%, 69.00±1.78%, and 64.39±1.84% respectively. The reduction effect is related to the pollution load, hydraulic loading and antecedent dry period.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
