Field Performance of Bioretention in Maryland
The reduction of hydrologic volume and flow peaks and delay in peak timing via bioretention were quantified in two bioretention facilities on the University of Maryland campus.

Delaware study finds that 60 percent of bioretention sites had a significant amount of mosquito breeding for most of the summer season.
The promise of permeable pavement has always been powerful, however, seldom realized.
Mass grading and construction equipment will compact urban soils, but quantifying soil infiltration rate is not as well documented.
From a stormwater perspective, terrain matters a lot more than state boundaries. However, the bulk of stormwater research has taken place in only one terrain.
Roof runoff quality is fundamentally determined by the nature of the roof surface, which can be quire diverse.
It may surprise you, but lawns and turf grass is now the largest crop grown in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
Bay stormwater managers are rapidly shifting their focus to reduce the volume of runoff rather than merely treating its quality.
Chloride is one of the main components of road salt and there is virtually no way to remove it once it gets into the watershed.
