Description
Summary:The paper presents the results of water quality monitoring of road and parking surface run-off, which was done in the city of Brno in 2008-2009 and 2013-2014. The main results of the effectiveness of retention and infiltration facility treatment for PAH, petroleum substances, chlorides and selected heavy metals are presented, too. The system of facilities was built for a parking place located in Brno-Bohunice (Masaryk University campus). A retention basin was built near a shopping centre in Brno. The results of analyses and field measurements allow for comparing the evolution and changes of the filtration media characteristics, treatment effectiveness and changes in pollution. The aim of the evaluation is to provide information for the proper maintenance of retention, infiltration and treatment facilities for the surface run-off source of pollution of water bodies.
