“…Much of the initial work, however, has focused on water quality (Berndtsson, Bengtsson, & Jinno, 2009;Boucher, Tremwel, & Campbell, 1995;Scholz & Grabowiecki, 2007;Urbonas, 2003) and on the application of different types of GI, their effectiveness with or without comparison to other types of GI, and their failure models (Dreelin, Fowler, & Ronald Carroll, 2006;Haselbach, Valavala, & Montes, 2006;Scholz & Grabowiecki, 2007;Yang & Jiang, 2003). Another limitation in the current literature is that the research is focused on specific climates and the results obtained thus may not be as useful for others.…”

DEDICATIONI dedicate my dissertation to my family and many friends. A special feeling of gratitude to my loving parents, whose words of encouragement and push got me this far. I also dedicate this dissertation to my wife, who stood by me, and I will always appreciate all her support throughout the process. This dissertation is an experimental study based on the findings of two Green Infrastructure (GI) stormwater control measures (SCMs) in Louisville, KY, which focused on the effects of the physical environment on the performance of GI. The GI installed in Louisville are suffering from extensive and rapid surface clogging and in order to optimize current and future GI, an understanding of the factors affecting the performance of the system is required. The study used the current literature to determine the surrounding factors and those of the permeable surface that had not been investigated enough, and used several configurations of GI to determine the effects of these variables on the surface clogging. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe module used to test these variables was a wooden flume, specifically designed and constructed from plywood so that the variables of the experiment could be incorporated in testing. The flume simulates a permeable pavement system with storage gallery and a bedding layer, and is paved with three different interlocking concrete pavements that provide gaps of three different sizes. The flume's longitudinal slope can be adjusted, and the permeable joint material can be included. The performance of the vi flume was measured using 7 time domain reflectometer (TDRs) instruments, manufactured by Campbell Scientific, which are located inside the storage gallery.After conducting 21 experiments with various configurations, the data was analyzed to reveal meaningful information. As expected, the experiments with permeable joint material show a clear separation for the sediment deposited on the surface, where empty gaps resulted in inorganics being deposited on the up gradient and organics on the down gradient.The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of the progression of clogging and progression of infiltration edge on the permeable surface showed that the increase of gap size from 6 mm to 9 mm did not result in a significant change, but the change to 12 mm gaps resulted in a significantly different rate for the progression of the first rate. The presence of #8 aggregate in the gaps resulted in significant changes in both rates and finally the change of slope from 1% to 3% created a significant change in the rate at which surface clogging progressed.vii

“…Agrochemical loss can cause environmental problems, such as pollution of surface waters, which can lead to eutrophication (Maticic 1999;Nakano et al 2008) and reduction of drinking water quality (Hall et al 1999). Scientific information on these impacts is important to satisfy public demands for environmental protection, inform growers of the effects of their activities on the environment, and develop and improve best management practices (BMPs) to mitigate environmental consequences of agricultural activities (Bottcher et al 1995;Inamdar et al 2001;Agricultural and AgriFood Canada 2004;Boman 2007;Butler Jr. and Srivastava 2007;Gitau et al 2007).…”

“…Several factors determine the success of nutrient management practices on stream water quality within a watershed. These factors include management effectiveness (Meals, 1992;Bottcher et al, 1995), land use type (Wang, 2001;Fisher et al, 2000), chemical and hydrologic factors (Sharpley et al, 1999;Moog and Whiting, 2002), farmer participation (Meals, 1992), and the measurement scale (Gburek et al, 2000;Dougherty et al, 2004;Harmel et al, 2004). In small plot-or field-scale studies, most of these factors can be controlled and results can be obtained within a short time period.…”
