Gross Pollutant Treatment in Urban Catchments
The study will aim to investigate the physical and chemical processes taking place within a Humegard GPT with the aim of quantifying the gross pollutant capture efficiency of the device.

This information will be combined with data collected from local authorities to investigate the implications of including Humegard GPT´s within a stormwater treatment strategy.
