Title: “Groundwater Contamination Potential from Stormwater Infiltration Practices”
Journal (Issue): Urban Water, 1(3): 217-236.
Study Type:
Description: Potential effects of groundwater contamination from stormwater infiltration practices were discussed based on: (1) presence of problem constituents found in stormwater, (2) mobility of constituents in the soil, (3) type of treatment before infiltration, and (4) the infiltration method that was used. Problem constituents include: chloride, pesticides, organic toxicants, pathogens, and some heavy metals. Reported groundwater contamination in residential areas has been rare. It occurred more often in commercial and industrial areas that incorporated subsurface infiltration.
