[Abstract]: As stormwater flows are intermittent, the requirement to store urban runoff is important to the design of a stormwater re-use scheme. In many urban areas, the space available to provide storage is limited and thus the need to optimise the ...

ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of extreme flood events in recent years has posed substantial challenges to the emergency evacuation capacity of urban areas. Existing evacuation plans are largely based on rational assumptions, overlooking the complex decision‐making mechanisms through which residents simultaneously weigh multiple attributes in real ...

Multi‐Scale Hydrodynamic Simulation Framework for Flood Risk Assessment of Urban Metro Stations
ABSTRACT Urban metro stations are highly vulnerable to pluvial flooding, yet accurately evaluating internal risks remains challenging due to the disconnected modeling approaches between surface inundation and internal intrusion processes. This study proposes a practical multi‐scale 2D hydrodynamic modeling framework that bridges overland flooding with ...

Stormwater utility implementation using GIS
In recent years, stormwater utility fees have been identified as a reasonable and effective funding mechanism to address stormwater problems. The fees provide for an equitable assignment of cost that is in proportion to the demand placed on the drainage ...

Stormwater Performance of Permeable Pavement Systems [PDF]
This fact sheet introduces permeable pavements as a solution for stormwater management. First, background information is presented about urban stormwater runoff. Next, a study is described, where a permeable pavement test facility was tested.

ABSTRACT Although blue‐green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly used to mitigate the challenges that climate change poses for cities, public involvement in its design is uneven. Here we examine three BGI projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, documenting how local communities and mana whenua were engaged in their design and the ...

Stormwater Storage and Retention Within an Urban Prairie Wetland Complex
Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and severity of flooding in the Great Lakes region. In many cities, flood‐control infrastructure is insufficient to protect against future climate conditions. Consequently, there is increasing focus on

Science and policy to manage nitrogen with cover crops—The Maryland experience
Abstract During the 1980s, research showed nitrogen‐stimulated eutrophication was contributing to the Chesapeake Bay's deterioration, and cover crop research shifted from legumes to replace fertilizer, to winter cereals to reduce nitrogen (N) leaching.

Abstract Nature‐based solutions (NbS) have become central to environmental governance. Yet, their societal legitimacy depends on how they are framed in public discourse. This study investigates how Norwegian media actors construct narratives around NbS, whose voices are amplified, and the extent to which plural and Indigenous epistemologies are ...
