Urine diversion has been proposed as an approach for producing renewable fertilizers and reducing nutrient loads to wastewater treatment plants. Life cycle assessment was used compare environmental impacts of the operations phase urine fertilizer processing systems [via (1) a concentration alternative (2) struvite precipitation ion exchange alternative] at city scale conventional systems. Scenarios in Vermont, Michigan, Virginia were modeled, along with additional sensitivity analyses...
Urban stormwater ponds (SWPs) are a common runoff control measure that can also have beneficial outcomes for water quality. However, pond emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), raise questions about the climate impact SWPs. Here, we establish whole-system annual budgets two SWPs in City Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, to compare open CO2 CH4 effluxes other input output fluxes carbon. These include particulate dissolved inorganic organic at inlet...
Data from the International Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMP) Database were used to compare phosphorus (P) control performance of six categories stormwater BMPs representing traditional systems (stormwater pond, wetland basin, and detention basin) low-impact development (LID) (bioretention cell, grass swale, strip). Machine learning (ML) models trained predict reduction or enrichment factors surface runoff concentrations loadings total P (TP) soluble reactive (SRP) for different BMP...

Phosphorus (P) export from urban areas via stormwater runoff contributes to eutrophication of downstream aquatic ecosystems. Bioretention cells are a Low Impact Development (LID) technology promoted as green solution attenuate peak flow discharge, well the excess nutrients and other contaminants. Despite their rapidly growing implementation worldwide, predictive understanding efficiency bioretention in reducing P loadings remains limited. Here, we present reaction-transport model simulate...
