Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...

Stormwater Ponds in the Southeastern U.S. Coastal Plain: Hydrogeology, Contaminant Fate, and the Need for a Social-Ecological Framework

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
In lowland coastal regions of the southeastern United States, stormwater ponds are being built as the “green infrastructure” best management practice of choice for addressing the hydrologic changes associated with rapid urban and suburban development. In

The Value of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Stormwater Management: A Case Study of a Traditional Village

Land
In recent years, floods have occurred frequently in urban and rural areas around the world, causing heavy casualties and property damage. In contrast, some traditional Chinese villages have never flooded.

Water Age in Stormwater Management Ponds and Stormwater Management Pond Treated Catchments [PDF]

, 2021
Increasing coverage of impervious surfaces in urban waterways result in 'flashy' hydrologic responses, elevated flood risk, and degraded water quality. Stormwater management ponds (SWMPs) are engineered into urban stream networks to mitigate this response. However, little is known about how SWMPs affect hydrological transit time at the catchment scale.

Life cycle thinking in plastics design

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract This article aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly reflection on the intersection between law and (plastics) production. It builds on the importance of ‘design’ for a more sustainable plastics economy by examining the role of law in bringing life cycle considerations into the design phase.

Stormwater quality modeling in urbanized areas

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Stormwater quality modeling with the use of Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) is presented. The model has been calibrated on the basis of measurements of flow and stormwater quality performed on a real catchment in Łódź, Poland.

Conservation Subdivision: Construction Phase—Low Impact Development (LID) and Stormwater Treatment

EDIS, 2012
Because so much area in subdivisions is covered by impervious surfaces such as roads, buildings, and driveways, stormwater runoff must be accounted for and treated to prevent flooding and to remove contaminates.

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
