1 Stormwater quality and land use impacts Storm water expert meeting, 11th December 2014, Turku Marjo Valtanen Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki
2 Stormwater quality the concept CONCENTRATIONS Varying continuously LOADS Concentrations x runoff volume -> volume has a great role E.g. annual unit loads (kg/km²/year) May reflect better the overall pollution potential
3 Stormwater quality and land use characteristics Land use type -> pollutant sources -> concentrations Activities -> e.g. snow removal, deicing, traffic density, population Imperviousness -> runoff volumes and intensitites -> pollutant loads Weather -> runoff volumes and intensitites -> pollutant loads

6 Cold climate considerations 40 % of the 40% of the annual precipitation falls as snow Spring thaw (Talouselama.fi) Freezed and/or saturated soils during cold months Increased pollutant emissions during wintry months Snow ploughing and transportation Yle.fi (helsinginuutiset.fi)
