This research work evaluates the impact of stormwater infiltration on the removal of organics, solids, nitrogen and phosphorus in a LECA-based horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland. Stormwater runoff for the period between... more
Reclaimed water from small wastewater treatment facilities in the rural areas of the Beira Interior region (Portugal) may constitute an alternative water source for aquifer recharge. A 21-month monitoring period in a constructed wetland... more
This paper was an exam paper in the course Infrastructure & Property undertaken during my master degree in Urban Planning & Environment at RMIT and gives a short analysis of the Sankt Annæ Project in Copenhagen. The paper gives a brief... more
Rain gardens can be a great tool for reducing pollution and damage being done to the environment especially in the Perrinville watershed. Not only does it offer an aesthetic element to one’s backyard, it also serves multiple purposes such... more
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a viable runoff reduction mechanism and an important player in the hydrologic cycle of vegetated green stormwater infrastructure (GSI). As a dynamic process, ET is dependent on both meteorological factors (e.g.,... more

If you have already been introduced to the concept of rain gardens, then you know why this project is so exciting, and so important. Aside from being absolutely breathtaking in appearance, rain gardens are a wonderful tool that... more
Urbanization has destroyed and fragmented previously large areas of natural habitat. Small remnants that still exist in numerous cities will be unable to sustain many viable wild plant populations if they do not expand into the... more
The implementation of various bioretention systems was analyzed, including rain gardens, vegetated swales, trenches, and infiltration basins in the St. Francis subdivision, Cross Plains, Wisconsin. Through the examination of archival data... more
Rain gardens help soak up rainwater from streets, driveways, and sidewalks, while protecting local waterways. Stormwater flowing along the curb flows through a catch basin into the surface of the rain garden. The stormwater runoff is... more
ABSTRACT: The implementation of various bioretention systems was analyzed, including rain gardens, vegetated swales, trenches, and infiltration basins in the St. Francis subdivision, Cross Plains, Wisconsin. Through the examination of... more
INTRODUCTION Humans and plants depend on an adequate supply of clean water for numerous reasons, from food production to sustaining terrestrial and aquatic life. The average Virginia resident uses about 47 gallons (178 L) of fresh water... more
Horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF) constructed wetlands are widely used for wastewater treatment but there’s still a lack of information on flow characteristics changes throughout the porous bed over time. The continuous growth of roots,... more
Most of the wastewater treatment systems in small rural communities of the Cova da Beira region (Portugal) consist of constructed wetlands (CW) with horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF). It is believed that those systems allow the compliance... more

A monitoring campaign in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland under the influence of transient loads of flow-rate, organic matter, nitrogen and suspended solids showed an irregular removal of COD and TSS and lower both removal... more
