took water samples at 2 depths: .2m and 1.5m

hypoxia allows for release of H2S in RSPII; no correlation between DO and chl-a or DO and sBOD concentrations

Photo-catalytic reactor and detention pond integration: a novel technique for surface water quality enhancement via nano-TiO2

ENVIRONMENTAL EARTH SCIENCES

Use of nano-TiO2 in a fix-bed reactor to remove nutrients

Impressive TP removal by the nano TiO2, but the reaction time is very long. Requires very long detention times. Removal of other nutrients was low.

Landscape controls on seston stoichiometry in urban stormwater management ponds

FRESHWATER BIOLOGY

Analyze a range of pond morphologies and drainage contexts for impacts on water chemistry and stoichiometry

Seston stoichiometry is coupled to catchment characteristics only weakly. Residence time and pond hydrology influences stoichiometry.

Nutrient export during storms and internal pond processes during dry periods

Strong ecological assessment of stormwater ponds, but may not be very relevant to the literature review

Landscape and morphometric controls on water quality in stormwater management ponds

URBAN ECOSYSTEMS

Analyze a range of pond morphologies and drainage contexts for impacts on water chemistry and stoichiometry

TP was related to pond type and ponds with forebays had very low ambient TP concentrations. Pond depth, length, width, area, and ratios between these parameters were strong predictors of water quality.

Need to identify mechanisms that govern how pond designs influence water quality

Focuses on how pond design and landscape characteristics influence water quality. 1-time grab samples don't paint a very complete picture, even with 50 different ponds

Origin and mobility of heavy metals in contaminated sediments from retention and infiltration ponds

APPLIED GEOCHEMISTRY

Patterns in metal speciation were largely similar across all 4 ponds. Cadmium was by far the most available metal. Metal concentrations varied between the particle sizes, with small particles containing the majority of heavy metals.

Opportunities and challenges for managing nitrogen in urban stormwater: A review and synthesis

ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING

Little focus on ponds, but there's some good background content about the challenges of N removal in ponds

Storm water pollutant removal by two wet ponds in Bellevue, Washington

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING-ASCE

Both ponds provided significant TP removal from urban runoff, but the larger pond (in relation to drainage area) had a much longer detention time and demonstrated better P removal.

Pond volume dedicated to water quality treatment appears to be a critical design parameter

Good field study on P and metal removal in wet ponds
