Public Engagement in the Design of Urban Blue‐Green Infrastructure: Contrasting Approaches and Project Outcomes in Ōtautahi Christchurch

New Zealand Geographer, Volume 82, Issue 3, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Although blue‐green infrastructure (BGI) is increasingly used to mitigate the challenges that climate change poses for cities, public involvement in its design is uneven. Here we examine three BGI projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand, documenting how local communities and mana whenua were engaged in their design and the ...

The Application of Rain Gardens in Urban Environments: A Bibliometric Review

Land
The increasing challenges of urbanization and climate change have driven the need for innovative stormwater management solutions. Rain gardens, as a nature-based solution (NBS), have emerged as a critical component in urban water management, particularly

Science and policy to manage nitrogen with cover crops—The Maryland experience

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
Abstract During the 1980s, research showed nitrogen‐stimulated eutrophication was contributing to the Chesapeake Bay's deterioration, and cover crop research shifted from legumes to replace fertilizer, to winter cereals to reduce nitrogen (N) leaching.

From Indicator to Prediction: Five Decades of Biochemical Oxygen Demand Research in Tropical Freshwaters

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) remains a core indicator of organic pollution in freshwater monitoring, but its role in water policy and practice is changing as water‐quality assessment moves toward predictive, integrative, and decision‐support approaches.

Storage, Connectivity, and Stream Drying in Headwater Systems: Modeling Across Hydrogeomorphic Features

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Headwater streams play a critical role in the physical, chemical, and biological functions of downstream waters. However, predicting their specific impact on a landscape scale remains a grand challenge, prompting the development of the river corridor framework to integrate the study of stream channels and hyporheic zones with that of adjacent ...

Manhattan Pluvial Flood Simulations Under Two Extreme Rainfall Scenarios Show Similar Severity Patterns but Contrasting Peak Timing Across Districts

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Urban pluvial flooding is often summarized by peak depth, peak extent, or cumulative burden, but these metrics do not distinguish when flooding first becomes hazardous from when the hazardous area becomes largest. This study introduces an activation–occupancy framework to quantify these two times and applies it to building‐resolving shallow ...

More Frequent, Faster, and Seasonally Reorganized Drought‐to‐Pluvial Transitions in U.S. Cities

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Hydroclimatic variability is projected to intensify under continued warming, yet the evolving likelihood, rapidness, and seasonal timing of drought‐to‐pluvial transitions remain poorly quantified. Here, we develop a probabilistic framework that integrates a severity‐resolved Markov formulation to estimate conditional drought‐to‐pluvial ...

Theoretical Investigations to Aid in the Prediction of Combined Sewer Overflows in Coastal Urban Watersheds: Case Study of San Francisco

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Combined sewer systems (CSS) function in about 700 U.S. municipalities, with over 100 near vulnerable coastal waters. Predicting changes due to rainfall, sea level rise (SLR), and groundwater rise is vital for adaptation. This study compares a hydrologic‐hydraulic model (PCSWMM) and a hybrid mass balance method for estimating combined sewer ...
