Snowmelt pollutant removal in bioretention areas
TL;DR: Bioretention was used to treat snowmelt from three types of urban roads in Trondheim, Norway: residential, medium, and roads with high-density traffic, and the effect of this enrichment ratio was examined through the bioretention system, and found to be less predominant than that typically reported for untreatedSnowmelt.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heavy Metal Removal in Cold Climate Bioretention
TL;DR: In this paper, a small pilot sized bioretention box was built in Trondheim, Norway for heavy metal removal in a cold climate setting, and three runoff events, created using historical data, were undertaken in April 2005 and then again in August 2005.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal climatic effects on the hydrology of a rain garden
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and winter hydrology of two small-scale rain gardens in a cold climate coastal area in Trondheim, Norway were evaluated and compared seasonally.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional frequency analysis of extreme precipitation with consideration of uncertainties to update IDF curves for the city of Trondheim
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional frequency analysis based on the method of L -moments is performed from annual maximum series of extreme precipitation intensity to update Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) curves for the city of Trondheim.
Journal ArticleDOI
An evaluation of applying existing bioretention sizing methods to cold climates with snow storage conditions.
TL;DR: It was found that even in a costal cold climate with several intermittent melt cycles die snow storage requirements were an important design parameter, and if more than 25% of the total snow volume should stored this became the deciding design parameter.
