“…Thus, they purify the polluted storm-and wastewater and diminish flooding risk in the receiving sewers and water bodies. There are no reliable methods of designing such connected facilities (Urbonas, 1997;Kasting, 2000). Both quantity and quality of storm water are normally uncertain.…”

Analytical solutions of a routing problem for storm water flowing through a linear reservoir are presented for the assumption of trapezoidal-shaped inflow hydrograph. The maximum ponded (water) depth in the detention basin is chosen as a main design criterion. Calculations are carried out for a given rain recurrence interval but for various rain durations and sand filter surface areas to reach the maximum permitted ponded depth. A design example is also provided.

Stormwater media filters are used to treat a variety of pollutants at different source areas. These can range from being as simple rain gardens or biofilters containing soils or special media, to proprietary devices. Historically, sand filters and sand-peat filters were some of the earliest filters used for stormwater control. Austin (1988), Galli (1990), Shaver (1994, Claytor and Schuler (1996), and Urbonas (1999) all include descriptions and performance information for these fundamental stormwater filtration systems. These filters have been used to treat a variety of conventional stormwater pollutants, mostly focusing on suspended solids and nutrients. Continued research has examined additional media and expanded our understanding of stormwater media filters. Clark and Pitt (1999) include an extensive review of different media, designs, and expected performance. A large number of proprietary stormwater filters are also now available and usually include cartridges of specialized media that can target specific classes of stormwater contaminants. Descriptions of many of these devices have been described at technical conferences, especially the annual StormCon conference (http://www.stormcon.com/) where venders have extensive exhibits showcasing these filters. The International BMP Database has much data describing actual field performance for a wide range of stormwater filters (http://www.bmpdatabase.org/).

“…Infiltration and bioretention devices may start to show significantly reduced infiltration capacities after about 1 to 5 lb/ft 2 (5 to 25 kg/m 2 ) of particulate solids have been loaded (Clark 1996(Clark , 2000Urbonas 1996). Deeply-rooted vegetation and a healthy soil structure can extend the actual life much longer; however abuse (especially compaction and excessive siltation) can significantly reduce it.…”
