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.

The authors discuss the potential for groundwater contamination resulting from stormwater infiltration. Groundwater risk is evaluated 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. Table 1 in [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.404.9299&rep=rep1&type=pdf the paper] provides a summary of the risk to groundwater for several chemicals that may potentially impact groundwater. The paper includes additional references and work done by the same authors in the 1990's. | ||
