According to the NOAA, farmland runoff from the Mississippi river basin empties into the Gulf of Mexico, and contains high enough concentrations of fertilizer nutrient ions that massive algal blooms are…

A major impact on stream ecosystems is the increased runoff of poor quality stormwater. Retention capacity (RC) can be used because it mimics natural runoff behavior, emphasising on small frequent storms, to reduce the frequency of flow disturbance experienced by streams. RC provides a practical design objective for stormwater treatment systems…
