Modelling the impact of SuDS for stormwater quality management in the Bongani River catchment, Knysna by Van der Merwe, Calvin David

“…The calibrated model was designated as the Current Scenario and was compared to the following additional scenarios: • Pre-development Scenario – the Current Scenario modified to represent, as closely as reasonably possible, the likely state of the site before human development. • Settlement Upgrade Scenario – incorporating the potential upgrading of the low-income areas to that more akin to typical suburban conditions. • Tributary Management Scenario – incorporating a detention wetland on the western tributary and a retention wetland on the eastern tributary of the Bongani River to manage pollution from the low-income settlements. • Bongani Wetland Upgrade Scenario – incorporating a constructed wetland near the discharge point as a regional control for the entire catchment. …”
