Pollutants accumulated on roads during dry periods are washed off the surface during rainfall events, presenting a potentially hazardous non-point pollution source. Estimation of pollutant loads in these runoff waters is required for developing mitigation strategies, yet the numerous factors involved and their complex interconnected influences make straightforward assessment impossible. Data driven models are especially suitable for this task. The book starts with a review of pollutants in highway runoff and their environmental effects, followed by an account of the sources of...
