- Citation
- Toor, G. S., Occhipinti, M. L., Yang, Y., Majcherek, T., Haver, D., & Oki, L. (2017). Managing urban runoff in residential neighborhoods: Nitrogen and phosphorus in lawn irrigation driven runoff. PLOS ONE.
- Study description
- This study investigated the transport of nitrogen and phosphorus from irrigation runoff in a residential catchment. The study looked at irrigation runoff at an outlet pipe from a residential neighbourhood to understand the concentrations of TN and TP as well as the daily fluctuations and influence of two different irrigation water sources (municipal and reclaimed water).
Response
- Cause term/trajectory
-
Land use/land cover - urban
- Cause description
- Irrigation of lawn surfaces in a residential catchment.
- Effect term/trajectory
-
Water quality - suspended material/sediment
- Effect description
- Total suspended solids concentration at outlet pipe of residential catchment. Higher concentrations of TSS often occurred with use of reclaimed water for irrigation and lower with municipal water.
