This paper presents the study of a mixed porous media composed of expanded perlite and a nonwoven needle-punched geotextile used to reduce the suspended solids load and concentration in urban runoff. Laboratory procedures ...

Bioretention column are widely used to evaluate the performance of these structures in the removal of pollutants, and to investigate different conceptions of filter media to improve their efficiency. However, there is no ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate a new concept of infiltration well as in loco stormwater drainage source control. This infiltration well, namely P-GHidro, has holes in the wall of the concrete rings, layer of ...

Stormwater flooding in urban centers today is the direct result of ground impermeabilization and the ineffective dimensioning of stormwater drainage systems. In order to control these events, innovative low impact stormwater ...

The changes generated in land use and the lack of vegetation in populated centers and especially in cities cause an increase in the impermeability of surfaces. The result of these processes is greater volumes of runoff ...

With the increase of waterproofing in urban centers, mainly generated by urbanization, it is necessary to search for new sustainable structures that act not only quantitative control, but also in the qualitative part of ...

The infiltration well as a Best Management Practices (BMPs) stands out because it requires small areas for its implementation an it´s fully applicable to urban lots. This paper presents an experimental study of an infiltration ...

Several studies cite the pollution of stormwater as equivalent and sometimes even superior to those found in the sewers. According to this premise and thinking about environmental issues, especially in the contamination ...

A poluição por microplásticos (< 5 mm) é uma das formas que mais cresce no mundo, tornando-se uma preocupação ambiental de alta prioridade, estando esse material descrito nos oceanos e ambientes de água doce em todo o ...
