Old biofiltration systems may need replacing sooner than expected
Biofiltration systems are used in cities to manage stormwater and reduce pollution. A study evaluated 10-year-old biofiltration systems in an industrial area in Queensland. These systems help with stormwater treatment but may need maintenance after a while. The study found that the systems can remove pollutants and control water flow, but more research is needed on when to replace the filter media.
