Evaluation of low impact development and best management practices on peak flow reduction using SWMM

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2021
Rapid urbanisation has caused an increased in peak discharge that conventional drainage systems cannot adequately handle. Low Impact Development (LID) practices are becoming a new approach in helping to better mimic the pre-development discharges.

Perception of professionals working in João Pessoa and surroundings regarding sustainable urban drainage [PDF]

open access: yesRevista DAE, 2023
In Brazil, the adoption of sustainable urban drainage (SUD) measures is modest, and the conventional approach prevails. This research evaluates the perception of 377 professionals (civil engineers, environmental engineers and architects) that work in ...

Dobutamine stress MRI in pulmonary hypertension: relationships between stress pulmonary artery relative area change, RV performance, and 10-year survival [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular (RV) performance determines survival. Pulmonary artery (PA) stiffening is an important biomechanical event in PH and also predicts survival based on the PA relative area change (RAC) measured at rest ...

Runoff Volume Reduction Using Green Infrastructure

open access: yesLand, 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,

Design of low impact development in the urban context considering hydrological performance and life‐cycle cost

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, 2020
The pressures on water system are increasing in cities. Rapid urbanisation caused by booming population leads to more impervious area and less infiltration, with the consequence of larger runoff volume and higher flood risk.

Renaturalising lands as an adaptation strategy. Towards an integrated water-based design approach

open access: yesTeMA: 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

Contribution of low impact development practices-bioretention systems towards urban flood resilience: case study of Novi Sad, Serbia

open access: yesEnvironmental Engineering Research, 2021
Bioretention systems are globally the most accepted Low Impact Development (LID) practices. In this study, we simulated bioretention performances for four locations in the city of Novi Sad, with RECARGA modelling software.

A Meta-Analysis of Hedonic Studies to Assess the Property Value Effects of Low Impact Development

open access: yesResources, 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.

Hydrologic performance assessment of nature-based solutions: a case study in North-eastern Italy

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Engineering, 2023
The consequences of climate change are exacerbated by land-use changes, which influence the rainfall-runoff relations and consequently the flood risk.
