“…This concentration-volume approach has been widely adopted as an appropriate modelling basis (Zoppou, 2001) and has been used to successfully quantify GIS-based unit area pollution loads (UALs; kg/ha/year) for differing urban landuses in the UK (Ellis et al, 2006;Ellis and Revitt, 2008).…”

Abstract The paper develops an easy to apply desk-based semi-quantitative approach for the assessment of residual receiving water quality risks associated with urban surface runoff following its conveyance through best practice sustainable drainage systems (SUDS). The innovative procedure utilises an integrated geographical information system (GIS)-based pollution index approach based on surface area impermeability, runoff concentrations/loadings and individual SUDS treatment performance potential to evaluate the level of risk mitigation achievable by SUDS drainage infrastructure. The residual impact is assessed through comparison of the determined pollution index with regulatory receiving water quality standards and objectives. The methodology provides an original theoretically based procedure which complements the current acute risk assessment approaches being widely applied within pluvial flood risk management.

“…The 50 th percentile EMC has been traditionally used as the target descriptor for volume-concentration modelling in urban drainage studies (Zoppou, 2001). The choice of the MAC EQS threshold standard provides a direct measure of acute risk and has been used wherever possible as illustrated in Figure 1.…”

“…For complex models, uncertainty analysis based on numerical techniques is exclusively used. Zoppou [2001] summarized the widely used numerical reliability techniques, which include, in order of accuracy: (1) sensitivity analysis, (2) mean value firstorder second moment analysis, (3) point estimate method, (4) Monte Carlo simulation, and (5) Mellin transform. In the present study, an uncertainty analysis was conducted using Monte Carlo simulations, which calculates model results using input parameter values randomly selected from the estimated distributions.…”

[1] An analytical runoff water quality model is developed for simulating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) loading and transport via road runoff in an urban area. The model considers buildup and washoff processes of suspended solids in storm runoff and considers dissolved and particle-bound PAHs. Pollutant deposition and removal processes, which have typically been treated with a constant rate in previous models, are depicted as functions of relative humidity and wind speed to reflect the influence of meteorological conditions and are integrated into the pollutant buildup function. Pollutant input via rainwater and canopy throughfall from roadside trees is considered in the washoff model. The model is calibrated and verified with field data from an urban catchment in Beijing, China. The verification indicates that the runoff model is capable of providing results in good agreement with field measurements. A Monte Carlo framework is used to evaluate the uncertainty of PAH loading under various scenarios of atmospheric conditions.

Steady growth of population, due to overall population increases and continuing migration from rural to urban areas, creates enormous demands and stresses on urban waters with respect to water supply, drainage, flood protection, wastewater management, and beneficial uses of receiving waters and groundwater. Urban water issues are therefore in the forefront of water management priorities in practically all regions of the world, though often for broadly varying reasons. Key issues of urban water management are discussed in this article, which focuses on the evolution of urban drainage infrastructure, characterization of urban drainage, urban runoff impacts on receiving waters, urban drainage management, water, and wastewater reuse and future perspectives and priorities. The discussion focuses on the collection and transport of urban effluents (sewer systems), characterization of urban drainage provided by combined or storm sewers (flows and their quality), impacts of urban drainage effluents on receiving waters, and groundwater and impact mitigation by integrated urban drainage management with the emphasis placed on the management of surface runoff and water/wastewater reuse. While the progress in integrated engineering science, watershed‐based management and new water technologies is impressive, the challenges of maintaining and improving urban water services, particularly in low‐income countries, are formidable and may be further exacerbated by demographic, social, and climate change.
