ABSTRACT Stormwater pollution in redeveloped soils mixed with construction wastes imposes a serious impact to receiving waters. The transport and distribution of rainfall water and nutrients in the surface-flow and subsurface-flow (including side-flow and down-flow) of bare redeveloped soil runoff system were determined. Results indicated that the flow patterns and pollutants transport of surface-flow were different from those in subsurface-flow. The flowrate of surface-flow increased at the beginning and reached to a stable state, and then disappeared immediately after the rainfall stopped. While the flow rate of subsurface-flow was persisted and decreased gradually artery the rainfall. Most of the pollutants were carried in the surface-flow, which directly results in polluting the surface-receiving waters. And the pollutants distribution percent in side-flow was higher than that in down-flow. Results obtained in this study will provide information for the management of stormwater pollution in the bare redeveloped soil mixed with construction wastes.
