An experimental and computational investigation of performance of the Green Gully for reusing stormwater
A new stormwater quality improvement device called ‘Green Gully’ has been designed and developed in this study with the aim of reusing stormwater for irrigating trees and other plants. The main purpose of the Green Gully is to collect road runoff/stormwater, make it suitable for irrigation and provide an automated network system for watering roadside plants and irrigational areas. This paper ...

Simulating future trends in urban stormwater quality for changing climate, urban land use and environmental controls
The effects of climatic changes, progressing urbanization and improved environmental controls on the simulated urban stormwater quality in a northern Sweden community were studied. Future scenarios accounting for those changes were developed and their effects simulated with the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). It was observed that the simulated stormwater quality was highly sensitive to the ...

Controlling urban stormwater pollution by constructed wetlands: a Canadian perspective
During the past 20 years, Constructed Stormwater Wetlands (CSWWs) have attained broad acceptance in Canada as effective measures for stormwater management. CSWWs are used mainly for improving stormwater quality by providing sufficient treatment volumes in shallow permanent pools. This leads to high requirements for land, which is one of the constraints on CSWWs use. Even though CSWWs perform less ...

Project - Martin County and EcoSense International: MacArthur Lake Nutrient Reduction
July 15th, 2020 Martin County and EcoSense International have partnered to reduce excess nutrient concentrations at a local level. EcoSense specializes in nutrient removal. The joint initiative involves lowering nutrient levels in MacArthur Lake to minimize algal blooms. This effort involves 64 independent buoys supporting permeable bags filled with a special formulation of NutriGone™ and ...

Tropical stormwater nutrient degradation using nano-TiO2 in photocatalytic reactor detention pond
The photo-degradation of nutrients in stormwater in photocatalytic reactor wet detention pond using nano titanium dioxide (TiO2) in concrete was investigated in a scale model as a new stormwater treatment method. Degradation of phosphate and nitrate in the presence of nano-TiO2 under natural ultra violet (UV) from tropical sunlight was monitored for 3 weeks compared with normal ponds. Two ...

Permeable Pavers Score a Triple Double* in Bloomington’s Cascades Park
Untitled Document Sometimes everything doesn’t fit into the space allotted. This was the case with revitalizing Lower Cascades Park in the famous Indiana University basketball City of Bloomington (pop. 72,000). New life to a small, historic park included installing massive playground equipment and more parking. Asphalt was not a slam dunk for parking since there ...

Greening the Built Environment
ASTM Standards and Products Form the Foundation of Sustainable Construction Efforts Today, a major focal point for the worldwide building industry is the growing demand for sustainable construction. Sustainable, or “green,” construction is focused on the more effective use of resources and ultimately the creation of healthier, energy efficient, more environmentally friendly homes and ...
