The Effects of Annual Compost Addition to Agricultural Green Roofs on Runoff Water Quality

HortScience
Space availability is one of the largest barriers to urban agriculture. One way around this issue that urban farmers in some parts of the world are exploring is moving their farming activities to building rooftops. One method of rooftop farming in use is

Multiphase and Heterogeneous O3 Chemistry on Aerosol and Infrastructural Surfaces Drives Cl2 Sources in a Coastal City

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Molecular chlorine (Cl2) is a key source of chlorine atoms (Cl∙) in the atmosphere, which can alter local oxidation chemistry and enhance both ozone (O3) and particulate matter. While Cl2 levels in some coastal cities can be substantial and are enhanced by particulate nitrate, the presence and impact of Cl2 in US cities is poorly understood ...

Perception and acceptance of rooftop farming by residents in Bangalore, India

Journal of Engineering and Science Research, 2018
Urbanization is making urban communities grow and increase in density. As this occurs, nature is expelled from urban areas and use of solid, slate and metal surfaces; carbon discharges increase the Urban Heat Island Effect. Rooftops are the spots that give an individual a chance to fantasize and allow them an imaginative standpoint towards their ...

Enabling a Circular Water Transition: Identifying Governance Pathways for Wastewater Reuse

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 798-828, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Over 80% of the world's wastewater is discharged untreated, making reuse a widely underutilised strategy for addressing water scarcity. Due to the complexity of implementing water reuse systems, supportive governance conditions are required to steer this process and overcome barriers.
