The impact of highway runoff on the chemical status of small urban streams
The aim of this study was to determine changes in the chemical quality of small urban stream sections directly affected by highway runoff (HR) during a rain event compared to unaffected locations as well as dry weather conditions. The study was conducted in three small streams Parameters of basic chemical quality of water were assessed, and concentrations of specific pollutants in water and bed sediments were evaluated. No direct impact of HR on a deterioration in water quality was seen in these three already-polluted creeks. In addition, no significant difference in water quality between rain events and dry weather flow was observed either. Loading of the bed sediments by specific pollutants was observed, but with no evident relation to HR discharges.
