Abstract
Stormwater runoff from urban areas is significantly polluted with a wide range of substances of environmental concern, and, the environmental impacts associated with wet-weather discharges have received increased attention during recent years. As a result, there are increasing pressures from society to handle stormwater runoff in ways that ensure maximum pollution reduction.
