Abstract

Urban runoff has been identified as a non-point source (NPS) contributor. The most effective mechanism for controlling urban NPS pollution is to reduce the amount of runoff through infiltration and storage on the landscape. Traditional infiltration best management practices (BMPs) have lacked long-term effectiveness because of clogging. The addition of vegetation to the system enhances the longevity of infiltration BMPs by enhancing soil structure. In order to better understand the design and function of vegetated, infiltration-based BMPs, Kansas State University is monitoring several sites in Kansas. Results indicate that vegetation enhances the ability of stormwater systems to store water and reduce down channel erosion and flooding.
