Road Pollution Solutions Tool
The Road Pollution Solutions Tool was created to help to identify the sections of roads that are likely to contribute the most pollution to our rivers. The tool quantifies the mass of selected pollutants deposited on road surfaces, which can potentially enter rivers through road stormwater runoff.
The tool has been applied to outer Greater London, and the area covering Surrey and the River Thames catchment between Maidenhead and Teddington. It has not been applied to central London where runoff enters a combined surface water and foul sewer system and flows to a wastewater treatment works.
The tool also shows where, and which type of sustainable drainage schemes (SuDS) could potentially be implemented to tackle the transport of pollutants to rivers. The use of such SuDS solutions will allow road runoff pollutants to be captured, therefore reducing the concentration entering our rivers.

The web-application was developed by the British Geological Survey in collaboration with Thames21 and funded by Mayor of London, Transport for London, the Environment Agency, and the Community Water Management for a Liveable London (CAMELLIA) project led by Imperial College London. It was also undertaken in partnership with Middlesex University, Zoological Society of London and South East Rivers Trust.
