Retrofitting a stormwater retention pond using a deflector island
Stormwater retention ponds are one of the principal methods to treat stormwater runoff. Analysis of residence time distribution (RTD) curves can be used to evaluate the capability of these ponds for sediment removal. Deflector islands have been suggested as a means of improving the performance of retention ponds, due to their diffusing the inlet jet. In this study, the effect of an island on ...

The influence of temperature and salt on metal and sediment removal in stormwater biofilters
Stormwater biofilters are used to treat stormwater runoff. In countries with cold winter climates, biofilters are subject to low temperatures which, in some cases, are combined with potentially high salt concentrations from road de-icing, potentially affecting the biofilter's performance. Since stormwater biofilters have been developed without consideration of their critical winter use, ...

An exploratory study of the effects of stormwater pipeline materials on transported stormwater quality
Implications of three sewer pipe materials (concrete, galvanized corrugated steel, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)) for stormwater quality were explored in laboratory experiments, in which three types of stormwater, SW1–SW3, were circulated in 0.5 m long sewer pipe sections. SW1 and SW2 represented synthetic rainwater, without and with fine street sediment added (CTSS = 150 mg/L), respectively, ...

Stormwater
Stormwater is a term used to describe water that originates during precipitation events. It may also be used to apply to water that originates with snowmelt or runoff water from overwatering that enters the stormwater system. Stormwater that does not soak into the ground becomes surface runoff, which either flows directly into ...

Management of the urban water cycle in Australia has changed significantly over the past few decades. Stormwater management philosophy has evolved from the conventional, but still important, flood mitigation paradigm, to the current runoff quality control approach. It is now progressing towards the harvesting and reuse concept whilst retaining the previous two targets. iven the current interest ...

Grasspave2 vs Asphalt Paving Cost Comparison
Economic Considerations - Grasspave2 paving is competitive with asphalt paving, and has a lower life cycle cost due to low maintenance costs and no need for surface replacement (if new grass is needed, just reseed). Asphalt paving requires resealing every 2 to 4 years, and resurfacing every 8 to 15 years, depending upon traffic and climate. Grasspave2 may not require any stormwater collection ...

Investigating psychological factors of behavioural intention of urban residents in South Australia to use treated stormwater for non-potable purposes
This paper reports on the intentions of urban residents in two South Australian Local Government Areas (LGAs) (council areas) to use stormwater treated through a managed aquifer recharge process for various potential non-potable uses. Data were collected through an online survey of the residents in these LGAs. The key finding is that, in common with recycled sewage water, the intention to use ...

Hirschthal, Switzerland protected with WaStop DN1200 - Case Study
Location: Hirschthal, Switzerland Problem: During times of high river levels, flooding occurred in the town of Hirschthal. This flooding occurred when the river level was higher than the stormwater outfall. This lead to river water pushing back up the outfall pipe, and spilling onto roads and residential areas. Solution: A DN1200 (NPS 48″) WaStop inline check valve was installed inside ...
