Abstract:
Pollutants concentration in inflow and outflow of two bioretention units were determined by twenty runoff events simulation. Results showed that mean average total nitrogen(TN) removal efficiency were 17.63%, for total phosphorus(TP) and chemical oxygen demand(COD) were 70.51%, 58.84% respectively. TN load removal efficiency were 28.20%, for TP and COD pollutants load reduction rate of more than 60%. Pollutants removal efficiency for Tau fescue and Buxus was approximate. The test proved that the bioretention unit was a useful engineering measure to control urban non-point source pollution caused by stormwater runoff.
