Mixed media design is key factor that affects the operation of bioretention systems. In this study, four types of modifiers, namely, water treatment residual (WTR), green zeolite, fly ash, and coconut bran, were mixed with traditional bioretention soil (65% sand + 30% soil + 5% sawdust, by mass). Consequently, four kinds of modified media were obtained.
