Title:Evaluation of stormwater urban ecological infrastructure in Phoenix, Arizona (USA): a case study of a small-scale bioretention basin system
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:
In 2017, Arizona State University finished construction on a pedestrian mall central to its Tempe campus, which included a small-scale bioretention basin system for stormwater management. This study analyzed the flood control and water quality improvement performance of the small-scale bioretention basin system in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, AZ USA. Flood control efficacy was quantified by calculating discharge from the basin system using water level loggers and measuring soil moisture levels using soil moisture probes. Stormwater runoff samples were collected for twenty-one storm events and analyzed for nitrogen and phosphorus constituent concentrations. Nutrient concentrations at the system inflow and outflow were used to determine percent change in concentration. Water quality improvement performance was compared to results from previous studies on bioretention basin system performance. These data were used to create relevant graphical figures. Results were obtained by performing statistical analysis calculations on the data measurements. The results indicated that the bioretention basin system performed adequately for flood control and water quality improvement, supporting the use of stormwater urban infrastructure systems in arid and semi-arid climates. Further research can reveal how these systems may perform during more severe storm events and offer improvements for future designs.

Methods and protocols used in the collection of this data package
Description:
Data collection followed methods detailed in Hale et. al. (2014), Hale et. al. (2015), and Sanchez (2019), following standard protocols of the Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research Program (CAP LTER) for stormwater research (see DOI:10.6073/pasta/e864c0dd4ff09fb20d6c8b14def6b798 for metadata). In Spring 2018, five ISCO 6712 automated pump samplers were installed throughout OM, located adjacent to the sampled basins (REFERENCE DATA OBJECT WHEN WE GET OR CONFIRM WITH TARA). We programmed these samplers to automatically activate when at least 3 centimeters of water was detected in the adjacent basin by water detectors connected to the samplers. During all storm events producing runoff, we collected nine 750 mL samples at non-uniform intervals, with the first sample collected at 5 minutes after inundation, followed by samples collected at 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240, and 300 minutes. The ISCO samplers collected more frequently at the beginning of the storms to capture the initial flushing of the events (Hale et al. 2014; Sanchez, 2019). We analyzed samples for nitrite (NO2-), nitrate (NO3-), phosphate (PO4-), ammonium (NH4+), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations. We performed TN analysis using a Shimadzu TOC-VC/TN analyzer with a detection limit of 0.04 mg TN L<sup>-1</sup>. We filtered subsamples for dissolved constituents through ashed Whatman GF/F 47 µm filters. The TP samples were digested using sulfuric acid and persulfate and diluted before analysis. We analyzed the remaining nutrient samples (NO2-, NO3-, NH4+, TP, PO4) using a Lachat Quick Chem 8000 Flow Injection analyzer with a detection limit of 0.85 μg NO3-N L<sup>-1</sup> and 3.01 μg NH4-N L<sup>-1</sup>. To measure the volume of water leaving the basins, we installed ONSET HOBO U20L water level probes in 90-degree V-notched weirs at three locations on the project site where outflow occurs (REFERENCE DATA OBJECT WHEN WE GET OR CONFIRM WITH TARA). We downloaded absolute pressure and temperature data from these probes every 70 days and converted raw values to water level using ONSET HOBOware (version 3.7.15, ONSET, Bourne, MA). Using these water level data, we calculated discharge rates through the V-notched weirs using the equation: Q = 2.49h<sub>1</sub><sup>2.48</sup>, where Q is the flow rate in m3/s and hl is the hydraulic head behind the weirs in m. Although these data indicated how much runoff was exiting the basin system, we were unable to calculate nutrient fluxes or budgets for the system because inflow values were unavailable because the system received stormwater runoff drainage from curb cuts, buildings, and roads. We obtained daily rainfall data from the Maricopa County Flood Control District database, using Rain Gage Station ID: 67500 – ASU South, located approximately 1 mile SSW of OM. We also placed three ONSET 10HS soil moisture smart sensor probes in two of the east basins to measure soil moisture at one-minute intervals throughout the study period (REFERENCE DATA OBJECT WHEN WE GET OR CONFIRM WITH TARA). We downloaded these soil moisture data every 180 days using ONSET HOBOware. We compared data from two winter storms and one summer storm to understand the role of the soils in water retention. ### literature cited Sanchez (2019) -- thesis? - Hale, R. L., L. Turnbull, S.

Abstract:Humankind is increasingly an urban species and urban ecosystems are therefore profoundly important. Cities are concentrated consumers of energy and resources and producers of various wastes, but they are also centers of social networks, innovation, efficiency, and solutions. The Central Arizona?Phoenix Long Term Ecological Research program (CAP V) is a research project that includes scientists from a variety of disciplines focused on understanding cities as hybrid ecosystems including both environmental and human components, and their interactions. Understanding urban ecosystems remains the central focus of CAP V after 25 years of innovative research. The interconnectedness of human motivation, behavior, actions, and outcomes with urban ecosystem structure and function leads to a fundamental question addressed by this project. How have/are human-environment interactions mediated by urban ecological infrastructure to shape past, present, and future ecosystem functions? This project will further indicate how we can use knowledge of these relationships to inform more just, transformative, and sustainable futures. Broader societal impacts are intentionally integrated in CAP V research, with many activities involving explicit partnerships with practitioners and communities that historically have had little voice in the future of their city and environment. This work forms a translational link among social-ecological research outcomes, city institutions, and communities with the goal of ultimately making Phoenix, and cities in general, better and more sustainable places to live. CAP research will extend its focus on the theory of Urban Ecological Infrastructure (UEI) as a critical bridge between the system?s biophysical and human/social domains. CAP researchers will continue to explore interdisciplinary urban ecology in residential landscapes, urban waterbodies, desert parks and preserves, while examining the plants, animals, climate, urban design and governance across the metropolitan Phoenix region. New research initiatives will include a focus on environmental justice and equity, as well as urban air quality. The research will develop both knowledge and solutions in underserved and historically neglected communities, including local Indigenous communities. CAP V research is organized around five interdisciplinary areas: 1) ecosystem structure and function and biogeochemical cycling; 2) adaptation and eco-evolutionary dynamics; 3) urban climate, and air quality; 4) urban nature and human perceptions, decisions, and wellbeing; and 5) environmental justice, governance, and transformative futures. Investigating these questions, in the context of the previous 25 years of CAP research, will guide the CAP research endeavor towards more sustainable and resilient futures for U.S. cities and for our increasingly urban society. This award is jointly funded by the Division of Environmental Biology and the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences. This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
