Robin, Urban Stormwater Technologies in Perth, Western Australia have developed and tested the Catch Basin Insert (CBI) over a number of years. The CBI captures wind and water carried contaminants “at source”. We provide a means to vastly improve the Stormwater Network and the quality of water it delivers to outfall. Please let me know if you would like further information.

Are there any studies or tests made that touch on the subject of technologies reducing pollutants transfered by storm water drains? E.g. a filter, addressing the issue in the well/drain, closer to the source of pollution?

Excellent point, fred@msn.com. The full journal article can be found at http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045653514014805. Main story updated as well.

With no data available, this doesn’t really help us.
