This meta-analysis reviewed 100 studies, both empirical and modeling, of stormwater management practice effectiveness at the watershed scale in a diverse selection of physiographic regions. The results indicate that decreases in pollutant load are often associated with runoff reduction rather than decreases in concentration.
