Title: “Compacted Urban Soils Effects on Infiltration and Bioretention Stormwater Control Designs”
Journal (Issue): Conf. proceedings. 9th International Conference on Urban Drainage, September 2002.
Study Type: Field
Description: Examined the impacts of compaction on infiltration rates in clay and sandy soils (153 double ring infiltrometer tests). Having knowledge of compaction can be used to more accurately predict stormwater runoff quantity, which will improve designs for bioretention systems. There was also discussion on groundwater impacts associated with infiltrating stormwater.
