There have been many studies of the impact of stormwater infiltration on groundwater quality. Some of these studies are summarized. The [[Surface water and groundwater quality impacts from stormwater infiltration#Conclusions - groundwater|Conclusions section] provides an interpretation of these studies. | There have been many studies of the impact of stormwater infiltration on groundwater quality.

This paper, [http://www.metrocouncil.org/METC/files/9f/9f5e1d8d-30d0-44f2-ba83-aeca8f372c61.pdf The Impact of Stormwater Infiltration Practices on Groundwater Quality] summarizes results from monitoring studies conducted at three infiltration practices. The sites included an infiltration basin, a large rain garden (bioinfiltration), and an underground infiltration system. Lysimeters were employed beneath the practices to determine the quality of infiltrating stormwater. | *Nieber et al., 2014.

These papers present an analysis of the contamination potential for a wide range of stormwater constituents. The authors evaluate groundwater risk based on three factors: chemical mobility, abundance of the chemical in stormwater runoff, and the likelihood of the chemical being attenuated through sedimentation practices, with the most limiting of these factors determining the risk. A table summarizes this information for a large number of chemicals of potential concern. |
