Abstract

This chapter provides a consolidated summary of outcomes from the research study undertaken on the influence of hydrologic and hydraulic factors on bioretention basin and constructed wetland treatment performance , using the two conceptual models developed. The knowledge created is expected to provide practical guidance and recommendations for storm water treatment designers and hydrologic/hydraulic model developers. This chapter also briefly discusses key areas where currently there are significant knowledge gaps and areas for further investigation. These include, investigating other typical storm water treatment systems and pollutant behaviour in addition to what has been investigated in the research study. Additionally, the use of laboratory scale models to investigate the relationship between hydraulic factors and water quality treatment is recommended in order to validate the outcomes obtained by using the conceptual models.
