Abstract:

In order to have an in-depth understanding of road runoff characteristics and the linkages to their influential factors, this paper investigates the road runoff quality in a city of South China, Shenzhen. Four rainfall events with different characteristics are monitored on a typical urban road. It is noted that the road runoff quality is worse than Grade Ⅳ of environmental quality standards for surface water. This means that the road runoff has posed a serious risk to water environment health. Furthermore, the research outcomes indicate that first flush highly varies with rainfall patterns and pollutant species. This means that for road runoff treatment design, rainfall patterns as well as pollutant species should be taken into consideration and this is particularly essential to design first flush capturing devices. Additionally, the threshold of an initial 3 to 5 mm rainfall depth is suggested to the first flush capturing device design. These results provide useful suggestions to the effective road runoff treatment design.
