Field site and experimental set‐up with stemflow‐labelled European beech trees. Summary Stemflow of forest trees can contribute a significant fraction of water to forest's water fluxes; however, it is still unclear whether and to what extent trees and their neighbours use stemflow for water uptake and supply.

Beyond Groups? Consociational Culture and the Representation of Cross‐Segmental Interests
Abstract In deeply divided societies, consociational power‐sharing ensures representation for ethnonational groups but raises questions about cross‐segmental interests. This paper explores “consociational culture,” arguing that consociational systems create a form of political culture which incentivises the use of group‐based categories and identities ...

Evaluation of Runoff Quality from an Extensive Green Roof System [PDF]
This study focuses on the analysis of rainwater runoff from an extensive green roof system. Over time, space that was formally available for rainwater to properly infiltrate to the ground is being taken up by impervious built surfaces.

Meta‐Analysis of Urban Non‐Point Source Pollution From Road and Roof Runoff Across China
Urban non‐point source (NPS) pollution has become an important issue affecting water quality, but current research has focused mainly on local scales and has lacked systematic evaluations at large spatial scales.

Infiltration of a copper roof runoff through artificial barriers
On-site infiltration of a copper roof runoff may contribute to deterioration of the ground and ground water. To avoid such a negative effect the performance of two different technical systems, equipped with four different barrier materials, regarding copper elimination was examined in a field study. During the period March 2004 to January 2005, 16 rain

Assessment of Inflow and Infiltration in Sewers: Case Study of Antalya, Türkiye
ABSTRACT Unwanted inflow and infiltration (I/I) of rainfall and groundwater into urban sewer systems are a critical issue for sustainable water management. This study examines the data from the two largest and most representative wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in central Antalya, Lara and Hurma, which both have large service areas and diverse ...

A mixed‐methods WHO CRES‐HCF assessment of 12 rural healthcare facilities in Matiari, Pakistan, found only medium climate preparedness (33%–67%), with WASH (41%), workforce (37%), and infrastructure (48%) domains weakest, and energy highest (51%). Environmental built‐form analysis identified poor ventilation, excessive solar heat exposure, insufficient
