Abstract |
A general discussion of urban runoff pollution including the impact of urban runoff on water quality, and the control and handling of non-point source pollutants is presented. The importance of various planning and design considerations are stressed. Long range control planning, management strategies, runoff simulation and various computer models such as SWMM and STORM are discussed. The benefits of source and collection system controls are presented on a cost-effectiveness basis, and a review is made of innovative physical/chemical treatment processes. The information is presented in the form of a literature review. |
