Evaluating the hydrologic and water quality performance of novel infiltrating wet retention ponds

Blue-Green Systems, 2020
Wet retention ponds temporarily store and slowly release stormwater to mitigate peak flow rates and remove particulate-bound pollutants. However, with sandy underlying soils, wet retention ponds may provide additional benefits through infiltration ...

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Detection of Hg²⁺ in Water by Modified Gold Nanoparticles: A Rapid Method and Its Mechanistic Basis

Chemosensors
A new sensor was developed to detect Hg2+ ions; different volume ratios of chloroauric acid and sodium citrate were used, which were 1.0, 0.8 and 0.5. Three kinds of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with sizes of 18 nm, 25 nm and 32 nm were synthesized in this

Public Understanding of Water‐Sensitive Urban Design and Implications for Land Use Planning: Insights From Aotearoa New Zealand

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Conventional urban drainage systems are frequently found to contribute to degradation of urban watercourses. The implementation of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and associated nature‐based infrastructure is considered one potential solution to mitigate stormwater‐induced degradation.

Current Knowledge on Phytoremediation Potential of Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for PFAS and Heavy Metal Contaminated Soils

Remediation Journal, Volume 36, Issue 2, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT This review synthesizes current research on the phytoremediation potential of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) for heavy metals, including arsenic, aluminium, mercury, copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and zinc, as well as per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly referred to as “forever chemicals.” A structured and transparent ...

Stormwater utility implementation using GIS

, 2005
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 ...

The Role of the Spatial Scale in Flood Hazard and Risk Mapping for Informing Land‐Use Planning: Insights From Aotearoa New Zealand

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flood related damages are escalating due to compounded climate change impacts and ongoing urban development along floodplains. As a result, there have been increased calls to improve integration between land‐use planning and flood risk management to resolve conflicting policy objectives and minimise increasing flood risk. However, how and what
