Abstract
The objective was to develop a technique of evaluating the dispersed pollutional loads from urban runoff. The technique involved analytically determining several pollutant parameters from twelve separate drainage basins, and then correlating the pollution levels to land use practices. The study used the statistical tools of correlation coefficients, component analysis, and multiple regression analysis to develop predictor models for estimating urban dispersed pollutional concentrations and loads. Separate mathematical equations for estimating the expected seasonal bacterial, organic, nutrient, and solid concentrations from urban runoff were developed. The predictors used in the equations were common urban area variables, such as population, population density, commercial establishment density, percentage of streets, and environmental index. Twelve mixed land use drainage basins located in the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, were used as the test areas. (Author)
