Abstract: Three storm-water wetlands in series were monitored in a heavily urbanized 12.5 ha watershed in Mooresville, North Carolina. Monitoring of this system allowed an examination of the diminishing returns provided by three ...

Abstract: Indicator bacteria are a common source of impairment in surface waters in the United States. Urban storm water runoff has been identified as a contributor to elevated indicator bacteria concentrations. Six storm water ...

Abstract: Level spreaders are commonly used in combination with riparian buffers as a stormwater best management practice in many parts of the United States. These systems have not been extensively studied in urbanized environments ...

Abstract: Bioretention practices have been developed to restore natural hydrologic regimes by reducing runoff volume and mitigating the peak flows of urban runoff. This is critical as cities encounter more extreme weather and their ...

Abstract: Water quality degradation due to pathogen pollution is a major concern in the United States. Storm-water runoff is an important contributor to the transport of indicator bacteria from urbanized watersheds to nearby surface ...

Abstract: An urban watershed in Raleigh, North Carolina, was monitored for indicator bacteria during 20 rain events. Results showed elevated levels of

Abstract: As regulators in the United States develop plans to mitigate microbial pollution via the design of total maximum daily load (TMDL) plans, historical data sets are often used to establish existing conditions for watersheds. ...

Abstract: As communities throughout the world work to reduce the impacts of urban stormwater on receiving streams, new stormwater controls have been a welcome addition to the established suite of green infrastructure practices. One ...

Abstract: Bioretention is a stormwater treatment practice that has gained popularity due to its aesthetics, potential to reduce flooding, and early documented improvements to stormwater quality. A bioretention cell in an urban setting ...

Abstract: Although bioretention has been shown to remove or sequester a wide range of pollutants, relatively little study has been performed to evaluate its ability to sequester indicator bacteria. Two adjacent bioretention areas ...
