Stormwater management and ecosystem services: a review
Researchers and water managers have turned to green stormwater infrastructure, such as bioswales, retention basins, wetlands, rain gardens, and urban green spaces to reduce flooding, augment surface water supplies, recharge groundwater, and improve water

This study investigates the use of repeat lidar to detect changes in streambank erosion in an urban area by comparing lidar‐based results with field metrics. Results highlight the usefulness of using repeat lidar to detect erosion city‐wide and the importance of in‐field visits.

Stormwater Governance and Future Cities
Urban stormwater infrastructure traditionally promoted conveyance. Cities are increasingly designing stormwater infrastructure that integrates both conveyance and infiltration in hybrid systems to achieve public health, safety, environmental, and social ...

ABSTRACT Anthropogenic carbonate deposits in Roman aqueducts can provide detailed environmental and archaeological information. The Roman aqueduct of Nîmes (France), famed for the Pont du Gard bridge, was built around AD 50 to convey water over 50 km to the city of Nemausus for drinking and bathing.

Targets for Urban Stormwater Management in Australia
Increasing urbanisation is occurring in Australia’s major cities and in almost every country in the world. This creates a challenge for the urban water sector, which not only needs to provide traditional water services (i.e., wastewater, domestic water) for a rapidly growing population, but also to service potential additional demands to contribute to ...

Thermal Regime Dynamics in a Karst Watershed Influenced by Groundwater and Urbanization
This study investigates how groundwater and urban development shape stream temperature patterns in the karstic Spring Creek watershed of central Pennsylvania, USA. Using high‐resolution monitoring, we found that groundwater inputs buffer temperature in some streams, while urbanised sub‐catchments experience extreme thermal surges due to heated runoff ...

Towards sustainable urban stormwater management
New directives for the management of urban stormwater prioritize infiltration and direct discharge into receiving waters. This requires innovative new stormwater facilities in urban areas. Besides hydraulic requirements for retention and infiltration capacity, the pollutants contained in the runoff water are of primary importance in future stormwater ...

Investigation of stormwater particles generated from common urban surfaces [PDF]
[Abstract]: Pollution due to urban stormwater runoff is a significant environmental issue. Large regional devices including sediment ponds and constructed wetlands are common features in the urban landscape to treat runoff.

Evaluation of porous concrete leachate to improve water quality
Abstract Porous concrete is increasingly explored as a multifunctional material for water quality improvement, stormwater management, and emerging agricultural applications. However, uncertainties remain regarding nutrient and trace metal leaching, particularly for freshly cast concrete. This study investigated the time‐dependent leaching behavior of a
