Stormwater Capture Efficiency of Bioretention Systems

Bioretention systems are increasingly being used to control the adverse effects of urbanization on stormwater quantity and quality. The stormwater capture efficiency of a bioretention system, defined as the fraction of stormwater volume captured by the system, can be used as an important index of its stormwater management performance. In this paper, an analytical probabilistic expression (APE) is derived for estimating the long-term average …
