The two primary goals of this portion of the research project were (1) to identify the variables that affect the build-up and wash-off of constituents from highways in the Austin, Texas, area, and (2) to develop a water quality model that incorporated these variables. This project marked the scientific use of a rainfall simulator in conjunction with active traffic. Twenty-one variables were identified for each variable to the quality of the highway runway.
