“…Passeport et al conducted a field study comparing two grassed bioretention cells including IWS zones for 16 months. Significant load reductions were observed for NO 3 and nitrite (NO 2 ) that varied from 47% to 88% in the growing season [53].…”

Abstract:The continued development of urban areas in recent decades has caused multiple issues affecting the sustainability of urban drainage systems. The increase of impervious surface areas in urban regions alters watershed hydrology and water quality. Typical impacts to downstream hydrologic regimes include higher peak flows and runoff volumes, shorter lag times, and reduced infiltration and base flow. Urban runoff increases the transport of pollutants and nutrients and thus degrades water bodies downstream from urban areas. One of the most frequently used practices to mitigate these impacts is bioretention. Despite its widespread use, research on bioretention systems remains active, particularly in terms of mix design and nitrogen treatment. Recent research focusing on bioretention is reviewed herein. The use of mesocosms provides the ability to isolate particular treatment processes and replicate variability. Computational models have been adapted and applied to simulate bioretention, offering potential improvements to their operation, maintenance, and design. Maintenance practices are important for sustained operation and have also been reviewed. Predicting maintenance is essential to assessing lifecycle costs. Within these research areas, gaps are explored, and recommendations made for future work.

“…Bioretention cells with sandy subsoils can have exfiltration rates too high for the IWS to remain saturated for more than a few hours. Bioretention cells with subsoils containing more clay have much lower exfiltration rates, leading to prolonged saturated conditions in the IWS, which permits the development of an anaerobic zone where denitrification can take place (Brown and Hunt, 2011b;Passeport et al, 2009).…”

“…High removal rates of both ammonia concentrations and loads have consistently been reported (Dietz and Clausen 2005;Tornes 2005;Hunt et al 2008). Phosphorus removal has been highly inconsistent among studies; ranging from exports to concentration [load] removals to no net removal (Hsieh and Davis 2005;Hunt et al 2006;Li and Davis 2009;Passeport et al 2009). Phosphorus removal has often been correlated with soils having a low P index score because these soils have a greater capacity to adsorb P compared to those with high P index scores (Hunt et al 2006).…”

“…Typically, higher rates of nutrient removal have been found in field studies (Dietz and Clausen 2005;Tornes 2005;Hunt et al 2006;Dietz and Clausen 2008;Passeport et al 2009); however, most of these studies have been conducted in a controlled environment in which synthetic stormwater and/or simulated rain events were applied to the rain gardens. Results from field studies have recently become more available as rain gardens have become more prevalent in the landscape; however, there is still a gap in data concerning long term-effectiveness of rain gardens.…”
