The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has developed The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System to encourage and accelerate the practice of sustainable green building and development. There are a variety of categories in the LEED' Rating System: Sustainable Sites (SS), Water Efficiency (WE), Materials & Resources (MR), Regional Priority (RP). ...
Given the ongoing challenges posed by extreme weather conditions – particularly the widespread drought affecting much of the UK’s growing season – now is an ideal time to explore the potential benefits of rainwater harvesting on your farm. As average temperatures rise and weather patterns become less predictable, making the most of the UK’s naturally ...
Artificial Wicking Aquifer 52mm Flo-Cell was applied as ‘wicking bed’ technology to store locally harvested stormwater runoff within shallow sand aquifers below two large open lawn areas. Bio-Swale & Infiltration The system was designed with Flo-Channels to infiltrate runoff water to clean and filter, recharging the water table ...
The swale is an open, shallow channel designed to slow runoff, filter it, and promote infiltration into the ground. Excess water moving through the soil profile is captured by Atlantis Single Flo-Tank®. The use of a swale to collected water results in smaller runoff volumes, lower peak discharge rates and cleaner runoff.The vegetation in ...
Ground plants and wildflowers along with grass will dominate for the first few years creating a natural water filter to protect against runoff after heavy rain. As the willow and alder regrowth canopy establishes it will suppress the ground plants and wildflowers which die down and provide nutrients for the tree regrowth as do the leaves from the trees and then ...
AirPave Porous Flexible Paving at Market Center Station Grass Pave Fire Lane Kansas City, Kansas A grass pave project designed by AMR Architects Inc out of Little Rock, Arkansas and developed by Houston-based The Morgan Group Inc., Market Station is the largest new construction project erected in Downtown Kansas City since Quality Hill in 1984. AirPave was chosen as the solution for porous ...
Mitch Park Emergency Access Grass Pave Fire Lane Installed Using AirPave AirPave Grass Pave System was installed by Connelly Paving who works with general contractors all around the central Oklahoma region. Create beauty and comfort with the unbeatable price and performance of an AirPave porous flexible paving grass pave ...
In Amberley is one of the largest base facilities in Australia. The redevelopment works are valued at AU$331.5 million. New construction and refurbishment works to be undertaken include newliving-in accommodation, maintenance facilities, storage, working and training accommodation, a combined mess and a new physical fitness centre. ...
When too much of a city is covered in concrete, stormwater is lost as runoff instead of filtering through the ground to replenish aquifers. ...
In order to determine the relative importance of a vegetative filter strip and a biofiltration swale in a treatment train for road runoff, US EPA Storm Water Management Model was used to model infiltration and runoff from the filter strip. ...
Silt fence and other types of barriers (see below) are usually placed perpendicular to the flow of water, and are often placed on hillsides and at the toe of the slope to slow the velocity of runoff and filter out particulates. Silt fence and other barriers are also placed around the perimeter of a site to contain sediment discharges. ...
In North America, the most common applications for structural sheet media are to promote biological growth in trickling filters and evaporation in cooling towers. Stacking In both wastewater and cooling tower applications, structural sheet media packs are actually stacked up to twenty or thirty feet tall. ...
Contamination and toxicity associated with urban stormwater runoff are a growing concern because of the potential for receiving system impacts. ...
And while the precise environmental benefits of the baobab and moringa planted so far are unknown, we do know that trees help improve soil structure and fertility — sometimes so significantly that yields of other crops also improve — and protect water ecosystems by filtering pollutants, reducing water runoff and, in some areas, reducing impacts of ...

Compact filter systems, which are installed to significantly reduce the load of pollutants from road runoff, are very promising treatments for urban runoff. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of activated carbon, activated lignite, zero valent iron, exfoliated graphite, amorphous ferric hydroxide, and activated ...
In this study, a tree box filter located adjacent to an impervious parking lot was developed to treat suspended solids and heavy metal concentrations from urban stormwater runoff. ...
Soil filters (in german: Retentionsbodenfilter) are facilities for the removal of nutrients and/or pollutants; typically on the level of an industrial site, a quarter or a drainage system (sub-)catchment. Usually they are located at the discharge points to surface waterbodies to ensure water quality standards. Soil filters consist of two parts: The first part is a retention pond or basin for ...
Implementations of Storm Water Best Management Practices (BMP) There are several implementations to control storm water drain off such as: Bio retention areas - these areas are land devoted to using either soil or plants to filter runoff from developed sites. These areas will naturally control hydrology through infiltration and evapotranspiration. ...
Little is known about transport mechanisms in sloped dormant vegetated and compost only filters for roadway runoff. Residence time experiments were carried out in triplicate in 0.254 m wide × 0.65 m long by 0.10 m deep beds using a bromide tracer. ...
Received for publication September 10, 2008. Runoff volume and flow concentration are hydrological factors that limit effectiveness of vegetated filter strips (VFS) in removing pesticides from surface runoff. ...
