Pitt, R. AND J. Lantrip. INFILTRATION THROUGH DISTURBED URBAN SOILS. Chapter 1, James, W. (ed.), Applied Modeling of Urban Water Systems, ISBN 0-9683681-3-1. CHI, Guelph Ontario, Canada, 8, (2000).
Description:
Prior research by Pitt (1987) examined runoff losses from paved and roofed surfaces in urban areas and showed significant losses at these surfaces during the small and moderate sized events of most interest for water quality evaluations. However, Pitt and Durrans (1995) also examined runoff and pavement seepage on highway pavements and found that very little surface runoff enteredt typical highway pavement. During earlier research, it was also found that disturbed urban soils do not behave as indicated by stormwater models.
