“…Constructed wetlands (Table 10.6) and retention and detention basins (Table 10.7) also exhibit various pollution reduction rates, and it can be attributed to the antecedent weather condition, rainfall intensity, and design parameters (e.g., geometry, size) (Herb et al 2009;Al-Rubaei et al 2014). For retention and detention basins, it also depends on residence duration of the water (Wang et al 2004). A retention basin could have higher pollutant reduction rate if the water could have longer contact with the vegetation and sediments rich in organic matter (Mallin et al 2002).…”

Blue-green infrastructure (BGI) has been recognized as an important tool for sustainable urban stormwater management. BGI is ecosystem-based, relying on biophysical processes, such as detention, storage, infiltration, and biological uptake of pollutants, to manage stormwater quantity and quality. Rain gardens, bioswales, constructed wetlands, retention and detention basins, and green roofs are most commonly used BGI systems. Unlike the single-functioned grey infrastructure, which is the conventional urban drainage system, these landscape systems collectively provide multiple ecosystem services, including flood risk mitigation, water quality treatment, thermal reduction, and urban biodiversity enhancement. In recent years, BGI is increasingly embraced through different initiatives around the world, driven by the urgency to tackle different local challenges, such as water quality standards, water security, increased flood risk, and aquatic ecosystem degradation. Whereas BGI is a relatively new term, the idea and practice are not new. In this chapter, we also showcase four cities-Portland, New York City, Singapore, and Zhenjiang-that are active and progressive in implementing BGI. Although BGI receives increasing attention, mainstreaming BGI remains a challenge today. To promote widespread BGI implementation, future research should focus on case studies on practical BGI experiences to inform strategies for overcoming the barriers to mainstreaming BGI in different cities.

“…The hydrological characteristics of the Pearl River Delta (South China) have been greatly impacted by urbanization (Chen and Chen 2004) due to sand dredging in the river, reclamation of floodplains, and construction of dikes, bridges, dams, etc. Riverbed degradation, including a 2-m drop in stage at the same flow, has been noted.…”

“…Some of the variability in performance observed for facilities of a specific type can be explained by differences in design and/or watershed characteristics; consequently, the expected performance for a given set of conditions can be predicted more accurately. Wang et al (2004) modeled the flow and pollutant removal of a stormwater wet detention pond. The pollutant removal and flow routing models were tested with data obtained from an actual wet pond for treating highway runoff, with the model agreeing well with the observed data.…”

“…Sources of TSS include construction activities, road sanding/salting, decaying organic matter, metallic dust from car brakes or engines, and erosion (International Stormwater BMP Database, 2011). TSS is frequently used as an indicator parameter to characterize overall water quality (Wang et al, 2004;Martino et al, 2011).…”

In Ontario, underground stormwater detention chamber systems (USDC) are a relatively new alternative to wet detention ponds for the detention and treatment of urban stormwater runoff. Few tools are available for designers to predict the removal of contaminants from USDC. A conceptual model was developed to fill this void and make USDC a more approachable solution to stormwater management.The Model for Underground Detention Sedimentation (MUDS) predicts the removal efficiency of total suspended solids through sedimentation based on the hydraulic properties of USDC. As runoff enters the USDC waves of particles are released, the pathline of these particles are tracked along vertical and longitudinal axes as they move through the USDC to determine whether a given diameter of particle is removed by sedimentation. Based on the particle size distribution and the density of the particles, the mass removal efficiency is determined. The model was found to adequately predict the hydraulics and treatment efficiency of USDC.
