Comparative impacts of stormwater runoff on water quality of an urban, a suburban, and a rural stream

Abstract: Water quality data at 12 sites within an urban, a suburban, and a rural stream were collected contemporaneously during four wet and eight dry periods. The urban stream yielded the highest biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), orthophosphate, total suspended sediment (TSS), and surfactant concentrations, while the most rural stream yielded the highest total organic carbon concentrations. Percent watershed development and percent impervious surface coverage were strongly correlated with BOD (biochemical oxygen demand… Show more

“…This appears to contradict results from other studies that indicate that urbanization tends to increase concentrations of TSS (Mallin et al, 2009). A number of studies note that TSS would increase to highest values for areas that are undergoing development (Mallin et al, 2009). This is observed in the study area where watersheds undergoing more rapid development appear to have typically the highest values: Bayou Fountain, Beaver Bayou, and White Bayou.…”

“…The (n) is the number of observation points used in point count for land use within a watershed. ( Mallin et al, 2009), which in turn can increase iron concentration (Salminen et al, 2005). This may explain why iron concentration is highest for watersheds with the largest share of undeveloped forest land in the study area.…”

“…However, those villages are not large enough and generate large enough sewage to contaminate the waters in a noteworthy way when compared to other studies. Mallin et al (2009) demonstrated that frequent excessive FC concentrations were found particularly at some of the most urbanized sites in Burnt Mill Creek (955 cfu/100 ml) while periodic high counts occurred in some rural (536 cfu/100 ml) and suburban (493 cfu/100 ml) locations. Besides, the geometric mean concentration of FC bacteria was 790 cfu/100 ml in Tama River, an urban river flowing through densely populated areas of Tokyo (Ham et al 2009).…”

“…The investigation of the changes due to the effects of rainfall runoff on the river is highly necessary for watershed management. Besides, the impacts of rainfall runoff on river water can be intensified through interactions with different land use such as forestry, agriculture, and residential development in the adjacent area [13][14][15]. Hence, the impact of land use such as longhouses and logging activities near the river on its water quality is also described in the present study.…”
