“…However, the average of EMCs for PO 4 -P in this study was 0.01-0.14 mg/L (Table 1), which was higher than that from Marina catchment area, Singapore at which PO 4 -P concentration was 0.008 to 0.010 mg/L [33]. Lucke et al [17] reviewed the latest publications on urban runoff pollutants from residential and commercial areas of South-East Queensland (SEQ), Australia. The results show stormwater pollutant concentrations in SEQ to be significantly lower than those historically published as typical for Australian land uses but still higher in nutrient levels than that of this study ( Table 3).…”

“…Different land-use characteristics reflect anthropogenic activities and could have a major impact on the quality of stormwater and consequently the receiving water bodies. Stormwater quality is well known for its highly stochastic nature and local empirical data (based on land use) is essential for a more accurate prediction of pollutant load at a local level [15][16][17]. Therefore, specific local runoff water quality data is critically helpful not only for the accurate runoff water quality model development but also for better understanding of the current and future impact of land uses change on downstream water bodies.…”

Stormwater quality is well known for its highly stochastic nature and not necessarily well explained by mechanistic urban build up and wash off models. Therefore, local empirical data (based on land use) are an essential compliment to statistical analyses of global data. This paper reports on a large-scale monitoring of the 12 key water quality parameters of suspended solids, nutrients, and heavy metals for stormwater runoff in urban discharges from nine urban land uses with varying sizes in Singapore. It was found that, in general, the average of the event mean concentrations for total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, total suspended solids (TSS), and phosphate in parkland land use were higher than the other eight studied land uses. Based on Pearson’s correlation analysis, significant correlation between pairs of water quality parameters was observed. Particularly, there was significant correlation between TSS and most of the other tested water quality parameters in all land uses. A pollutant data set from this study will assist in developing appropriate stormwater quality models, guide the establishment of stormwater treatment objectives and preliminary designs for Singapore catchments, as well as provide an essential complement to statistical analyses of global data for stormwater characteristics.

“…Stormwater quantity control is measured to curb flooding problems by facilitating detention to reduce the peak flow rate through the temporary storage and slow release of stormwater over an extended detention time. The main objective of stormwater quantity control is to Wang et al, 2013; [33] Alam et al, 2017; [34] Chahal et al, 2016; [35] Lucke et al, 2018; [36] Lang et al, 2013; [37] Concentration (mg/L)…”

“…A bioretention system is part of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater quantity and quality control. In recent years, interests in bioretention systems for stormwater quality treatment have piqued [5,20,24,31,36]. They are typically used to treat stormwater that has run over pervious and impervious surfaces in urban areas.…”

A Review of Nitrogen Removal for Urban Stormwater Runoff in Bioretention System

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One of the best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater quality and quantity control is a bioretention system. The removal efficiency of different pollutants under this system is generally satisfactory, except for nitrogen which is deficient in certain bioretention systems. Nitrogen has a complex biogeochemical cycle, and thus the removal processes of nitrogen are typically slower than other pollutants. This study summarizes recent studies that have focused on nitrogen removal for urban stormwater runoff and discusses the latest advances in bioretention systems. The performance, influencing factors, and design enhancements are comprehensively reviewed in this paper. The review of current literature reveals that a bioretention system shows great promise due to its ability to remove nitrogen from stormwater runoff. Combining nitrification and denitrification zones with the addition of a carbon source and selecting different plant species promote nitrogen removal. Nevertheless, more studies on nitrogen transformations in a bioretention system and the relationships between different design factors need to be undertaken.

This review summarizes over 250 studies published in 2018 related to the characterization, control, and management of urban stormwater runoff. The review covers three broad themes: (a) quantity and quality characterization of stormwater, (b) control and treatment of stormwater runoff, and (c) implementation and assessment of watershed‐scale green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). Each section provides an overview of the 2018 literature, common themes, and future work. Several themes emerged from the 2018 literature including exploration of contaminants of emerging concern within stormwater systems, characterization and incorporation of vegetation‐driven dynamics in stormwater control measures, and the need for interdisciplinary perspectives on the implementation and assessment of GSI.Practitioner points Over 250 studies were published in 2018 related to the characterization, control, and treatment of stormwater. Studies cover general stormwater characteristics, control and treatment systems, and watershed‐scale assessments. Trends in 2018 include treatment trains, vegetation dynamics, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
