“…The extended residence time improves the flow attenuation and quality treatment, but it requires a larger storage area [24]. Insufficient storage area and low infiltration capacity of soil generate outflow, which led to more runoff passing at high velocity on the topsoil, causing erosion and low water retention [25]. When surface stormwater combines with the groundwater, the subsurface drainage outflow infiltrate to retention basins.…”

The stormwater management practices have changed from conveyance-oriented to storage-oriented, as part of the Best Management Practices (BMPs). Still, uncontrolled development increases potential pollutants in the stormwater, which conveys into a water body or river. Continuous improvements in the filtration mechanism would complement stormwater management. For the past decades, there is progress in applying granular filter media for stormwater quality improvement. However, the reports were not systematically reviewed. In this paper, the recent five years research that utilizes granular filter media for improving stormwater quality was retrieved and reviewed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was referred to, where Scopus and Web of Sciences, two primary journal databases, were used. Initially, keywords searching strings have resulted in 467 articles, which were further screened. Four themes have been formed: stormwater management, stormwater characteristics, separation mechanisms, and future perspectives. Next, two sub-themes and two sub-sub-themes were further established. Then, 65 articles were included manually to complement the themes developed to explore the potential agro-industrial wastes as sustainable filter media. Therefore, this review has proven that the relatively inexpensive and renewable resources from the agro-industrial wastes can remove pollutants efficiently from the stormwater. Four main criteria affecting filter media performances are also highlighted, including the grain sizes of the media, media bed configuration, hydraulic loading rate, and the suspended solids concentration. Further study on these variables can be beneficial to explore the impact of utilizing agro-based media in stormwater filtration.

“…Por meio de técnicas de controle na fonte, seu uso corrente visa à mitigação dos problemas causados quando se tem somente a implantação de estruturas convencionais de drenagem urbana e de controle da poluição (PEREIRA, 2014). Regiões tropicais e subtropicais, como o Brasil, são carentes de estudos, adaptações e monitoramento de tais técnicas (MOURA; PELLEGRINO; MARTINS, 2016;MACEDO et al, 2017;MACEDO et al, 2018), o que leva certa resistência para aceitação e implantação dessas práticas como medida corrente.…”

RESUMO A questão da qualidade da água nos corpos d’água urbanos é complexa, pois passa pelo controle de cargas poluidoras pontuais e difusas. As cargas pontuais ainda são um problema recorrente no Brasil, porém são mais facilmente identificáveis. As cargas difusas não têm um ponto de lançamento específico, o que torna seu controle mais difícil, pois ocorrem principalmente em função da lavagem das superfícies durante as chuvas. Os corpos d’água em áreas urbanas são severamente afetados por tais descargas, que se refletem na qualidade das águas e em seus usos. Nesse contexto, este trabalho apresenta elementos do monitoramento da qualidade da água do rio Pinheiros nos últimos dez anos; analisa os resultados do monitoramento da Companhia Ambiental do Estado de São Paulo (Cetesb); verifica se há relação com resultados do monitoramento diário do projeto Avaliação da Qualidade das Águas do Sistema Pinheiros-Billings com o Protótipo Flotação; e, por fim, avalia o uso de sistema de biorretenção, que apresenta resultados significativos de reduções da carga poluidora do escoamento superficial chegando, em alguns casos, a mais de 90%. Essa solução é uma alternativa para a redução da poluição difusa na bacia do rio Pinheiros.

“…Also, such systems are used to remove nitrogen from urban rainwater (WANG et al 2017;RAHMAN et al 2020) and eliminate nutrients from rainwater (LUO et al 2020). The studies also advance to the operation, maintenance, and performance evaluation (DE MACEDO et al 2017;JIANG et al 2019;LOPEZ-PONNADA et al 2020) and others for modeling bioretention systems (JIANG et al 2019;ALIKHANI et al 2020) are advancing. The main reasons for the recent popularity of bioretention systems have been the flexibility of their design, which helps in their relatively simple integration in urban areas, and because they work as supplements to provide aesthetic and social benefits in addition to conventional rainwater management functions (CHAHAL et al 2016).…”

The occupation and use of increasingly impermeable urban land have made it difficult to infiltrate water and, consequently, increase the volume of runoff in different cities, which has required the development of bioretention techniques in the field of hydrology. The aim of this article is to define and apply criteria for the identification of areas for the construction of Bioretention systems for evaluations based on Geographic Information System indicators, considering the aspects of quantity and quality in urban drainage . The developed method allows to verify and compare changes in the surface of urban areas and their interference in the local environment , the mapping of land use and occupation to simplify procedures to define and prioritize areas for the construction of Bioretention systems, the use of resources from georeferenced bases to resolve eco-hydrological issues. The study develops technical bases for the use of a georeferencing tool to analyze areas with speed and consistency as a basis for decisions on the implementation of Bioretention systems
