Urban Biofilter Devices Face Clogging Crisis: Impact on Stormwater Management
Biofilter devices in cities help manage stormwater, but they can get clogged, affecting their performance. A study was done to see how clogging happens. The researchers found that clogging can occur on the surface, on buried geotextiles, or at the underdrain outlet. This can impact how well the biofilter device works in reducing runoff and pollutants in urban areas.
