Hydrologic and soil properties of mature bioretention cells in Ontario, Canada
Water Science and Technology, 2021 Bioretention systems, which mimic natural hydrology and reduce volume of stormwater runoff, are a preferred solution for meeting water balance objectives, but lack of knowledge about the long-term performance of these systems hinders their wider adoption.

Runoff Volume Reduction Using Green Infrastructure
Land, 2021 Uncontrolled urbanization is a frequent cause behind the local flooding of catchment areas. This also results in a degradation of water quality in receivers, as well as causing a disruption of the natural water cycle in the catchment. Classical solutions,

A Meta-Analysis of Hedonic Studies to Assess the Property Value Effects of Low Impact Development
Resources, 2014 Stormwater runoff from urban areas is a significant source of water pollution in the United States. Many states are promoting low impact development (LID) practices, which provide a variety of direct and ancillary ecosystem services.

Renaturalising lands as an adaptation strategy. Towards an integrated water-based design approach
TeMA: Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2022 The effects of soil sealing on the hydrological cycle and water resource exploitation are critical issues for the sustainable development of urbanised areas. Cities’ growth without adequate measures for mitigating anthropic impact has led to deep changes
