Stormwater capture as a Pathway to enhance groundwater recharge: A potential assessment in arid to semi-Arid urban landscapes

City and Environment Interactions
In semi-arid to arid regions, urban stormwater management practices (SMPs) can be used to capture runoff and enhance local groundwater recharge. This study develops a novel, transferable, easy-to-implement method that utilizes open public records and ...

First flush analysis of urban stormwater runoff from an urban catchment in Johor, Malaysia

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
An increase of pollutants that are present in the initial stage of stormwater runoff hydrograph compared to a later stage of runoff is defined as a first flush phenomenon. This study aims to investigate the occurrence of first flush from samples of urban

Pesticides in stormwater runoff—A mini review [PDF]

Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering, 2019
Recently, scientific interest has grown in harvesting and treating stormwater for potable water use, in order to combat the serious global water scarcity issue. In this context, pesticides have been identified as the key knowledge gap as far as reusing stormwater is concerned.

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

Professional Engagement With Climate Change Among Five Communities of Practice in Virginia, USA: An Exploratory Study

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
Municipalities across the United States and the world face profound climate adaptation and mitigation challenges. To assess current engagement and future potential of various professional communities to communicate about and contribute to such efforts, we conducted 56 in‐depth interviews in Virginia with members of five communities of practice (elected

Improving detention ponds for effective stormwater management and water quality enhancement under future climate change: a simulation study using the PCSWMM model

Scientific Reports, 2023
Urban surfaces are often covered by impermeable materials such as concrete and asphalt which intensify urban runoff and pollutant concentration during storm events, and lead to the deterioration of the quality of surrounding water bodies. Detention ponds

The evaluation of stormwater runoff

Mokslas – Lietuvos ateitis / Science – Future of Lithuania
Conventional wastewater flow measurement techniques are difficult to apply for stormwater runoff. Therefore, a strong need for the new types of flow measurements is foreseen, especially in the existing urban areas. Water level was measured applying a hydrostatic level meter and flow was calculated according to typical hydraulic relationship.

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

Climate 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 ...

Assessing Stormwater Nutrient and Heavy Metal Plant Uptake in an Experimental Bioretention Pond [PDF]

, 2018
With the purpose to study a solution based on Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) to reduce and treat stormwater runoff in urban areas, a bioretention pond (BP) was realized in the Agripolis campus of the University of Padova, Italy.
