Are street trees and their soils an effective stormwater treatment measure?
LIZ DENMAN Abstract Stormwater management is shifting from systems that rapidly collect and discharge stormwater to nearby waterways towards more sustainable methods. These newer strategies aim to reduce contaminant load and the volume of runoff by incorporating stormwater treatment into the design of urban landscapes. The re-design of street tree rootzone environments is an option…

Liz Denman, Burnley College, University of Melbourne Summary In recent times, a greater emphasis has been placed on the environmental aspects of urban stormwater management. An experiment has been designed to investigate the potential of using street tree and tree soil systems to treat stormwater. The proposed treatment system fits within the concept of Water…
