The water quality of highway runoff in the Austin, Texas, area was determined by monitoring runoff at three locations on MoPac, which represented different daily traffic volumes, surrounding land uses, and highway drainage system types. The highest concentrations of all constituents were measured at the high traffic site. The concentrations at all sites were similar to median values for similar sites complied in a nationwide study of highway runoff quality.
