Plant Traits for Phytoremediation in the Tropics

Engineering, 2019
Water is a limited and valuable resource. Singapore has four national sources of water supply, one of which is natural precipitation. Pollutants collected in stormwater runoff are deposited into drainage systems and reservoirs.

Mobility of polypropylene microplastics in stormwater biofilters under freeze-thaw cycles

Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters, 2022
Stormwater biofilters naturally experience dry-wet and freeze-thaw cycles, which could remobilize deposited particulate pollutants including microplastics.

Adaptive Rainwater Management on Coral Islands: Multi-Method Integrated Rapid Optimization of Bioretention Systems

Environmental Chemistry and Safety
Although tropical coral islands receive abundant annual precipitation, the heavy rainfall and the high porosity of coral sand lead to rapid rainwater loss, posing a severe challenge to water use, soil water retention, and plant growth.

Characterization and microbial mechanism of pollutant removal from stormwater runoff in the composite filler bioretention system

Water Reuse
Bioretention systems are a low-impact development (LID) measure to effectively control stormwater runoff and reduce pollutant concentrations. In this paper, three groups of bioretention cells with different filling materials (1# bioretention soil media ...

Experiment and simulation of layered bioretention system for hydrological performance

Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination, 2019
Bioretention can reduce surface runoff, slow down peak flow, and delay peak time by increasing the infiltration capacity of the underlying surface. The media structure directly affects the performance of bioretention systems.

Modelling and assessment of sustainable urban drainage systems in dense precarious settlements subject to flash floods

LHB Hydroscience Journal, 2022
In developing countries, dense, precarious and informal settlements are common. In the tropics, the occurrence of intense rainfall and the increased impervious surfaces have led to disastrous flash floods. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are an
