Learning From Disaster: Evaluating Pakistan's First National Adaptation Plan for Flood Risk Management

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
Pakistan's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) is assessed against lessons derived from the 2010 and 2022 Indus Basin floods through a systematic review of 35 studies. While the NAP scores above the global average on established quality criteria, it remains infrastructure‐centric, with limited integration of nature‐based solutions, local knowledge, and ...

Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesKōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

The Quality of Clarity: Lessons from the Sixty‐Year Struggle to Maintain the Purity of Lake Taupō

open access: yesKōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
Sixty years of effort to protect the exceptionally clear water of Lake Taupō, the largest lake in Aotearoa New Zealand, show how environmental memory can help manage a cultural and natural resource. I describe how water clarity and quality in this lake have been protected, through managing soil erosion and phosphorus flows during the 1960s–1980s, and ...

The Challenges of Domestic Wastewater/Sewage Systems for Māori Communities

open access: yesKōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
The development of domestic wastewater systems in contemporary Aotearoa New Zealand has presented a significant challenge for Māori communities. While those communities have supported attempts to address the pollution of land and waterways through modern treatment methods, the solution has included continuing discharges of sometimes untreated and often

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

open access: yesEnvironmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Promoting Sustainable Water Demand Management Through Community Water Literacy: A Case Study From Aurora, Colorado (USA)

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Long‐term drought and aridification challenge water managers in the southwestern United States to ensure water security for growing urban populations. As reliable supply dwindles, managers must increasingly rely on demand management strategies whose success is predicated on community water literacy, an aggregate of water knowledge, attitudes ...

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.
