       Notes - general: This article deals with the growing need to treat
                        potential pollution from paved surface runoff, as well
                        as the need for flow attenuation and for water quality
                        monitoring.  This has lead to the expansion of
                        vegetative treatment systems for the purpose of
                        surface runoff.  The article provides a review of
                        engineering methods for the collection, transport and
                        treatment of paved surface runoff.  It then goes on to
                        describe the different types of vegetative treatment
                        systems which are available, their value and role, and
                        appropriate situations for their use.  Finally,
                        consideration is given to the need to monitor the
                        efficiency of these systems in order to establish
                        their effectiveness, and a description is given of
                        monitoring methods which may be appropriate.
