Infiltration Through Compacted Urban Soils and Effects on Biofiltration Design

The effects of urbanization on soil structure can be e xtensive. Infiltration of rain water through soils can be greatly reduced, plus the benefits of infiltration and biofiltrat ion devices can be jeopardized. This paper is a compilatio n of results from several recent and on-going research projec ts that have examined some of these problems, plus
