Overview
Green infrastructure like raingardens can be used to capture and filter the water from roads and paving, cleaning it and thus increasing its potential uses. This research explores how the soils, aggregates in the raingardens can be used to enhance water cleaning, and explores ways of optimizing further water cleaning to increase the potential use of the stormwater.Eligibility
Science or engineering background.
Project Details
While heavy rainfall can be a problem due to its potential to cause flooding, the water has potential to be a valuable water resource. Green infrastructure like raingardens can be used to capture and filter the water from roads and paving, cleaning it and thus increasing its potential uses. This research explores how the soils, aggregates in the raingardens can be used to enhance water cleaning, and explores ways of optimizing further water cleaning to increase the potential use of the stormwater.
Funding details
There is no funding attached to this project and the successful applicant will be expected to provide the funding for tuition fees, project-specific bench fees and living expenses via external sponsorship or self-funding.
