An understanding of the characteristics of pollutants on impervious surfaces is essential to estimate pollution loads and to design methods to minimize the impacts of pollutants on the environment. In this study, simulated rainfall equipment was constructed to investigate the pollutant discharge process and the influence factors of urban surface runoff (USR). The results indicated that concentrations of total suspended solids (TSS), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) appeared to be higher in the early period and then decreased gradually with rainfall duration until finally stabilized. The capacity and particle size of surface dust, rainfall intensity and urban surface slopes affected runoff pollution loads to a variable extent. The loads of TP, TN and COD showed a positive relationship with the surface dust capacity, whereas the maximum TSS load appeared when the surface dust was 0.0317 g·cm−2. Smaller particle sizes (<0.125 mm) of surface dust generated high TN, TP and COD loads. Increases in rainfall intensity and surface slope enhanced the pollution carrying capacity of runoff, leading to higher pollution loads. Knowledge of the influence factors could assist in the management of USR pollution loads.

Abstract In recent years, stormwater control measures (SCMs) such as permeable concrete pavement have been experimentally investigated and used to manage hydrologic and water quality impacts of stormwater runoff. Research revealed the potential of permeable pavement in reducing and delaying peak flow rate, reducing runoff volume, and capturing heavy metals and other particulate-bound pollutants from stormwater runoff. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of permeable pavement on nutrients in stormwater runoff. This research aims to produce permeable reactive concrete (PRC) from waste fly ash, waste gypsum board and waste coco peat and to investigate its effectiveness in removing nutrient contamination present in stormwater or urban surface runoff. The raw materials underwent through granulation process to produce granulated filtering media (GFM). Cylindrical samples of PRC were then made and subjected to various physical and water quality tests. The use of GFM as partial coarse aggregates of PRC for urban surface runoff management and nutrient contamination removal has been tested and evaluated. After performing all the tests, the researchers concluded that GFM as partial coarse aggregates of PRC is effective due to the significant increase in infiltration rate of the entire sample compared to the traditional permeable concrete that has an average infiltration rate of 2-6 mm/s. The results in the water quality test revealed that PRC with GFM as partial coarse aggregates lessen the nitrate, phosphate, and ammonia that are present on urban surface runoff.

The main functions of this research are to guide the proportion of urban land that is used and the layout of the facilities on it, help understand the changes to surface runoff that are caused by land being used in urban development, and thus solve surface runoff pollution. Hangzhou City, China has been selected for the experiment, and the way in which its land is utilized as well as the grading of urban construction projects in the demonstration area are specifically analyzed. This study systematically distinguishes the definitions of impervious area based on the Sutherland equation and analyzes the impact of different impervious area subtypes on surface runoff water quality. Then, we compare the impact of impervious area subtypes with the impact of other land-use patterns on surface runoff water quality. This study shows the relationship between different land-use types and runoff water bodies: Land-use index can affect runoff water quality; Greening activities, impervious surface, and the water quality index are negatively correlated; the effective impervious area rate is positively correlated with the water quality index. The paper suggests that increasing the proportion of green spaces and permeable roads in build-up land reduces the effective impervious area (EIA) and thus controls land runoff pollution and improves runoff water quality.

RESUMO:  O processo de urbanização das cidades sem o adequado planejamento de uso do solo provoca uma crescente impermeabilização deste, levando a constantes cheias nos centros urbanos. Entende-se que os sistemas tradicionais de drenagem resolvem apenas parte do problema, pois não agem nas causas mas somente nos efeitos. Nesse sentido o presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar o desempenho do pavimento permeável em relação à capacidade de infiltração das águas pluviais, visando à redução do escoamento superficial em áreas urbanas; para isso foi realizada a simulação chuvas para obter o escoamento por meio da equação de precipitação de Palmas-TO, onde foi possível aferir parâmetros de infiltração e escoamento; também foram produzidos e ensaiados blocos em concreto poroso para avaliar sua capacidade de infiltração. Na simulação efetuada sobre o pavimento permeável em blocos intertravados observou-se que ocorreu uma absorção da precipitação nos 9 minutos iniciais; já na simulação realizada sobre os blocos vazados percebeu-se que neste praticamente não ocorreu escoamento superficial. Os blocos em concreto poroso demonstraram uma ótima capacidade de infiltração, conseguindo comportar em seu interior 7,2 litros, o que significa uma infiltração instantânea de 7,2mm de chuva. ABSTRACT: The process of urbanization of cities without the adequate planning of land use causes a growing waterproofing of this, leading to constant floods in urban centers. It is understood that traditional drainage systems solve only part of the problem, as they do not act on causes but only on the effects. In this sense, the present work aims to evaluate the performance of the permeable pavement in relation to the infiltration capacity of rainwater, aiming at reducing surface runoff in urban areas; for this, the simulation was performed rains to obtain the flow through the Palmas-TO precipitation equation, where it was possible to measure infiltration and flow parameters; blocks were also produced and tested in porous concrete to assess their ability to infiltrate. In the simulation carried out on the permeable pavement in interlocked blocks it was observed that precipitation was absorbed in the initial 9 minutes; already in the simulation carried out on the leaked blocks it was noticed that in this practically no surface runoff occurred. The porous concrete blocks demonstrated an excellent infiltration capacity, managing to accommodate 7.2 liters inside, which means an instant infiltration of 7.2mm of rain.
