- Abstract
Excess nitrogen in the ecosystem could result in eutrophication and harmful algal bloom in an ecosystem. Low impact development (LID) facilities, regarded as an integral part of green infrastructures for flow control and water quality management may include, but are not limited to, dry/wet ponds, green roof, bioswale or linear ditch, vegetated natural strip, exfiltration trench, piping networks with underdrain or reuse options, and bioswale. This study presents a new approach using a linear ditch along a roadside for LID with the aid of two green sorption media that are designed for co-treatment of stormwater and groundwater for nutrient removal. The stormwater is primarily from agricultural discharge and transportation stormwater runoff. Two recipes of green sorption media, including the green sorption media and woodchip, were examined and compared through a laboratory-scale column study and a field-scale test bed media under various influent concentrations and flow conditions. The green sorption media were found more appropriate than the woodchip media for field-scale applications because the green sorption media may exhibit long-standing microenvironments and hydraulic patterns to provide a homogeneous hydraulic retention time and infiltration rate for nutrient removal. Therefore, such a new LID practice may not only mitigate the impact from various surface stormwater runoffs but also co-treat groundwater and stormwater for nutrient removal.
