Replacing natural wetlands with stormwater management facilities: biophysical and perceived social values [PDF]

Water Research, 2015
Urban expansion replaces wetlands of natural origin with artificial stormwater management facilities. The literature suggests that efforts to mimic natural wetlands in the design of stormwater facilities can expand the provision of ecosystem services ...
