Abstract |
Materials which commonly reside on street surfaces have been found to contribute substantially to urban pollution when washed into receiving waters by storm runoff. Calculations based on a hypothetical but typical U.S. city indicated that the runoff from the first hour of a moderate-to-heavy storm would contribute considerably more pollutional load than would the same city's sanitary sewage during the same period of time. The study provides a basis for evaluating the significance of this source of water pollution and provides information for communities having a broad range of sizes, geographical locales, and public works practices. Information was developed for major land-use areas within the cities. The analysis of the runoff is also reported. |
