Abstract / Summary:
Preface
This report summarised the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology's research on the project, 'Pollution Loads from Urban Catchments', which included:
- a review of more than 800 studies of urban stormwater quality processes published in the English-language literature
- a statistical analyses of overseas and Australian data to characterise urban stormwater quality and urban stormwater treatment by storage
- development of methods for estimating runoff and pollutant loads in urban catchments for different time scales, objectives and data availability
- a modelling study of the dry weather pollutant accumulation process for estimating storm-event and washoff loads
The report has been written for CRC industry participants, urban drainage authorities, urban water and environmental consultants, and the wider community.
It explains the processes that influence urban stormwater quality, and methods for estimating stormwater runoff and pollution loads. The information in this report represents results from the CRC's research, data analyses and the CRC's review of Australian and overseas research reported in the urban hydrology lliterature. Detailed findings of the CRC research in urban stormwater pollution can be found in other CRC research publications and in industry journals and conference proceedings.
The following topics are covered in the report:
- impact of urban development on the natural environment
- stormwater contaminants and their impact on the environment
- sources of urban stormwater pollution
- pollutant buildup and washoff processes
- pollutant transport and storage processes
- stormwater monitoring
- estimation of urban runoff and pollutant loads
