Urban subsurface flow pathways from stormwater infiltration

这个项目旨在了解水(和相关污染物)如何在城市景观中流动。城市雨水径流使溪流退化，造成侵蚀、污染和生物多样性的丧失。雨水入渗可以减少径流量和污染物负荷，并可以恢复因创建不透水区域而失去的河流基流。然而，在现实中，雨水在城市景观中渗透的命运是未知的。该项目预计将预测哪里的渗透可能会损害水道健康，从而节省维修资金。

This project aims to understand how water (and associated pollutants) move through the urban landscape. Urban stormwater runoff degrades streams, causing erosion, pollution and loss of biodiversity. Stormwater infiltration can reduce runoff volumes and pollutant loads and could restore stream baseflows, lost through creation of impervious areas. In reality, however, the fate of infiltrated stormwater in the urban landscape is unknown. This project is expected to predict where infiltration may damage waterway health, saving money on repairs.
