Citation
Vaze, J., & Chiew, F. H. S. (2003). Study of pollutant washoff from small impervious experimental plots. Water Resources Research.
Study description
This study examined the impact of rainfall and runoff on pollutant washoff in both field and laboratory experiments. The study looked at the washoff characteristics of TSS, TN and TP.

Response

Hydrology - surface flow (timing) (Increase)
Cause description
Increasing storm duration
Effect term/trajectory
Water quality - nutrients (phosphorus) (Decrease)
Effect description
The TP concentration was highest at the start of the simulated runoff and decreased over time.
