“…It is known that antecedent dry period, storm intensity and traffic density are relevant factors influencing the runoff quality Brodie and Dunn, 2010;Zuo et al, 2011). No significant differences were found between water quality variables in X12 and X22 (p>0.05), so all the values obtained from both roads were used in a multivariate analysis which showed that antecedent dry period was the most significant variable for TP and TN whereas rainfall intensity was the most influential for COD and TSS.…”

The role of SuDS construction and monitoring in the transition of a Mediterranean city. ABSTRACTUnder the well-known slogan 'think global, act local', cities in the 21 st century face the enormous challenge of catalyzing, intensifying and accelerating sustainable urban transformations. Without losing a holistic view, the methodology presented in this thesis places the focus on 'resource management and climate mitigation and adaptation', in particular in urban stormwater management, proposing processes that can bring about the required change, shaped by the place-based approach of the regenerative sustainability paradigm.Building upon literature and practice that supports a flexible approach to stormwater management in urban environments that mimic natural processes and predevelopment hydrology (Sustainable Drainage Systems, SuDS) as one way to, amongst others, help to prevent and adapt to climate change, the thesis highlights the relevance of the connection to the place for adoption of best practices that conduct towards a regenerative system. Hence, it incorporates this connection to the place to the SuDS representation, naming it the SuDS 'landed rocket'.The proposed methodology includes a conceptual framework, specific method and tools, that allows for the understanding and the characterization of the current situation of a urban stormwater system in a process that guides future actions to move towards the desired regenerative urban built environment concept, with a place-based holistic view.This methodology has been applied to Benaguasil, a Mediterranean city, where stormwater ma...

“…This means that TN build-up on roof surfaces could be relatively more variable for the <1 mm particle size while TS, TOC, and TP build-up are relatively more variable in the 1-150 mm size range in the case of roof surfaces. This can be attributed to the fact that nitrogen is primarily transported by stormwater in dissolved form while other pollutants such as organic matter and phosphorus could be more commonly present in particulate form [21][22][23].…”

Impervious surfaces in an urban catchment are primary stormwater pollutant contributing areas. Appropriate treatment of stormwater runoff from these impervious surfaces is essential to safeguard the urban water environment. While urban roads have received significant research attention in this regard, roofs have not been well investigated. Key pollutant processes such as build-up on roads and roofs can be different due to the different surface characteristics. This entails different treatment strategies being needed for road and roofs. The research study characterized roof pollutants build-up by differentiating with road surfaces. It was noted that pollutants are more highly concentrated on particles and particularly finer particles in the case of roof surfaces, compared to road surfaces. Additionally, pollutants built-up on roof surfaces tend to be relatively more variable from one day to another in terms of pollutant loads. These results highlight the significance of roofs as a stormwater pollutant source and the important need for a specific stormwater treatment strategy rather than the application of a combined approach for treating stormwater runoff from both, roads and roofs.

“…Vijayaraghavan et al[3] claimed the adsorption abilities of 24.2mg Zn per g Sargassum biomass. This implied that the CM could be made use of the removal of heavy metals in water samples from various sources.3.5 Application of the used adsorbent to road runoffRainfall and rainfall intensity were two important factors determining the amount of pollutants in road runoff[15], and these factors wre related to rainfall events. Meanwhile, rainfall events have randomness and uncertainties.…”

Carbonized mulch (CM) was used to remove copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) in solutions and urban road runoff in this study. Parameters investigated included pH, sorbent amount and reaction time. The removal of all three metals by CM was determined by pH and the peak at pH 5.5. The adsorption kinetics of all three metals by CM could meet the pseudo-first-order equation. The adsorption isotherms of all three metals by CM could be greatly described by Langmuir equation, as well as by Freundlich equation. The peak uptakes were 30.8 mg Cu/ g CM, 69.9 mg Zn/ g CM and 27.5 mg Cd/ g CM. Obtained results indicate that CM could be used to deal with heavy metals in road runoff, although there are the influences of real runoff qualities (including light metal cations, anions e.g.).
