Unfortunately, the effectiveness of this device and the environmental benefits when implemented in urban settings have not been appropriately evaluated and validated due to the lack of fieldwork data. Therefore, this study provided an exciting research opportunity to increase our knowledge in the performance treatment efficiency of this system under real storm events and specific site conditions as those presented in Toowoomba. This study focused on assessing the effectiveness of a DDBBO system located in the suburb of Glenvale in Toowoomba for the removal of Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorous (TP) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The study obtained data for real storm events and developed models...
