The role of trees in urban stormwater management. [PDF]

Landsc Urban Plan, 2017
Urban impervious surfaces convert precipitation to stormwater runoff, which causes water quality and quantity problems. While traditional stormwater management has relied on gray infrastructure such as piped conveyances to collect and convey stormwater to wastewater treatment facilities or into surface waters, cities are exploring green infrastructure ...

Urban Stormwater Management: A Sustainable Approach

Water (Switzerland)
Climate change is impacting urban areas, especially through extreme rainfall that stresses conventional water management systems. Rainwater resulting from impervious runoffs, stormwater leads to an increase in the amount of wastewater that requires treatment and an overflow of the combined sewer system.

Microplastic Pollution in Pavement Sediments of Beijing: Abundance, Characteristics, and Ecological Risk [PDF]

Toxics
Pavement sediments are a significant source of microplastics (MPs) in urban environments and a major contributor to stormwater runoff pollution. In this study, we investigated the abundance and characteristics of microplastics in Beijing’s major road ...

Occurrence of coliphages in urban stormwater and their fate in stormwater management systems [PDF]

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2003
To investigate the occurrence of coliphages in, and their removal from, urban stormwater.Inflow and outflow concentrations of somatic and f-specific RNA coliphages to two stormwater treatment systems were determined on 21 occasions over a period of 5 months. Somatic coliphages were detected in 19 (90%) of the constructed wetland inlet samples, 13 (62%)
