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.

The influence of structural factors on stormwater runoff retention of extensive green roofs: new evidence from scale-based models and real experiments

, 2019
Green roofs, in contrast to conventional roofs, retain significant stormwater, and are considerably appealing for urban regions to help mitigate flooding events and addressing serious environmental impacts of excessive or uncontrolled runoff.

Assessment of Inflow and Infiltration in Sewers: Case Study of Antalya, Türkiye

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unwanted inflow and infiltration (I/I) of rainfall and groundwater into urban sewer systems are a critical issue for sustainable water management. This study examines the data from the two largest and most representative wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in central Antalya, Lara and Hurma, which both have large service areas and diverse ...

Climate Resilience and Environmental Sustainability of Healthcare Facilities in a Rural District of Pakistan: A Mixed‐Methods Assessment Using the WHO Framework

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
A mixed‐methods WHO CRES‐HCF assessment of 12 rural healthcare facilities in Matiari, Pakistan, found only medium climate preparedness (33%–67%), with WASH (41%), workforce (37%), and infrastructure (48%) domains weakest, and energy highest (51%). Environmental built‐form analysis identified poor ventilation, excessive solar heat exposure, insufficient

Pavement Wear Generates Microplastics in Stormwater Runoff

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Tire and road wear particles are a major source of microplastics to urban stormwater. They are composed of hetero-aggregates of abraded tire and pavement particles that are difficult to distinguish. While tire wear is a known source of microplastics, little is known on the contribution of pavement wear.

Translocated Clam Retention and Effects on Ecosystem Functions Across a Gradient of Environmental Stress

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Estuarine ecosystems are experiencing increasing land‐derived stress, bringing sediments, excess nutrients and contaminants. Once degraded, disturbed soft sediment ecosystems can take years to recover because long‐lived, functionally important species that aid recovery are lost.

Evaluation of Catchment-Scale Stormwater Runoff Management on First-Flush Water Quality and Storm Discharge Quantity [PDF]

, 2018
Urbanization and resulting imperviousness has caused increased pollutant loadings into receiving water bodies. One of the main sources of pollutant loads is stormwater runoff.
