Abstract

The study is focused on examining and simulating the formation processes of the runoff and pollution export in the case of Rostov (Rostov Velikii), a town in the Volga basin. The diffuse runoff from Rostov territory and its spatial distribution were evaluated for the following components: ammonium, total iron, oil products, sulfates, chlorides, suspended matter, as well as COD and BOD5. The main conclusions and recommendations are based on the authors’ experimental studies and simulation with the use of SWMM software complex (storm water management model), as well as long-term engineering studies of urban conditions in the case of underflooding under various projects.
