Media, Microbes and Macrophytes – their role in improving the effectiveness of bioretention systems. Getting the right mix

open access: yes, 2008
Bioretention systems are becoming the most widely used stormwater treatment technologies for many local authorities. Their popularity is based primarily on existing models that demonstrate very high pollutant removal efficiencies and their small physical

Urban stormwater ponds: Evaluation of heavy metals and organic pollutants in stormwater and stormwater sediments

open access: yes, 2021
Urban runoff is generated by precipitation of rain and snowmelt on impervious surfaces.  The increasing demand of urbanization causes contaminants to accumulate on roads,  roofs and pathways. In turn, as runoff wash off these surfaces, contaminants such as heavy metals, particles and organic pollutants end up in the stormwater.

Making Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Work for Multiple Users: Improving the Design of FIM for Decision Support

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Visualizing and communicating flood inundation depth and extent can be valuable for informing decisions related to flood preparedness and disaster response. In the United States, several different types of flood inundation mapping (FIM) exist and a new National Water Model (NWM) FIM product is being rolled out across the country (expected to ...

Controlling construction stormwater runoff

open access: yes, 2005
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has long recognized stormwater runoff as one of the leading causes of impairment of streams, and as a result, developed Phase I stormwater requirements in 1990, which resulted in the first NPDES Stormwater ...

Flood Hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand Under Current and Future Climates

open access: yesGeoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
First nationally consistent freshwater flood maps for Aotearoa New Zealand, produced for 1% AEP rainfall design events under current and future climate conditions (1°C, 2°C, 3°C, and 4°C above pre‐industrial), with 4 m‐resolution water depth and depth–velocity outputs. ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the costliest hazards facing Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ).

Environmental and Spatial Variables Influencing Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Watersheds Across Central NY

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
This manuscript explores empirical linkages between a suite of concentrations of chemicals of emerging concern (CEC) and hydroclimatological and spatial watershed characteristics. Our analysis was carried out at the regional scale allowing us to explore how complex patterns of land use relate to CEC concentrations.
