SPRINGERBRIEFS IN WATER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ...

As cities develop  more land is converted into impervious surfaces  which do not allow water to
infiltrate. Careful urban planning is needed to ensure that the hydrologic cycle and water
quality of the catchment areas are not affected. There are techniques that can attenuate peak
flow during rain events and reduce the amount of metals  nutrients  and bacteria that enter the
urban water cycle. This brief gives a short introduction on bioretention systems and documents
the effectiveness of some 36 plant species in removing water pollutants. A summary on the
maintenance requirements is also presented.
