This book identifies the key hydrologic and hydraulic factors which
influence the performance of stormwater quality treatment systems such
as constructed wetlands and bioretention basins. Mathematical
relationships derived using conceptual models underpinned by fundamental
hydraulic theory are presented to predict treatment performance. The key
highlights of the book will include the identification of the linkages
between influential hydrologic and hydraulic factors for constructed
wetlands and bioretention basins to support more accurate prediction of
treatment performance and effective design of these types of stormwater
treatment systems. Furthermore, this book will showcase an innovative
approach for using conceptual models to analyze stormwater treatment
system performance.
