Key issues for sustainable urban stormwater management

Water Research, 2012
Since ancient times, it is understood that stormwater from constructed areas should be managed somehow. Waste and pollution transported by stormwater poses quantity and quality problems, affecting public health and the quality of the environment. Sanitation infrastructures in urbanized regions have different development levels and the perception of ...

Prioritization of stormwater management sites in urban areas

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
Multiple pressures as urbanization, densification and climate change lead to the need for adaptation of sewer systems within urban environments. To increase the adaptive capacity of stormwater management systems, there is a shift towards decentralized nature-based solutions (NBS).

Urban Stormwater Management: Practices and Governance

2020
Water resources in urban areas are either approaching or exceeding the limits of sustainable use at alarming rates. Depletion of groundwater and increasing floods has become a common issue in rapidly developing urban areas. Therefore, improvement of present water management systems for managing water quality, while at the same time reducing hydro ...

Political Aspects of Urban Stormwater Management

Journal of the Water Resources Planning and Management Division, 1980
This paper examines the experiences of urbanizing DeKalb County, Ga. in implementing stormwater management and handling drainage and flooding problems during the period 1973 to 1979. Political considerations played a significant part. A number of detailed sub-basin studies with extensive citizen opinion surveys and participation were conducted.

Managing Stormwater Runoff in Urban Watersheds

Opflow, 1996
Upstream areas of watersheds contribute to downstream problems simply because of the cumulative effects of storm water runoff. In many cases, land development in upstream areas has occurred with little thought of the consequences to downstream communities.

Urban Resilience : The Optimization of Sustainable Urban Stormwater Management

2023
With increasing urbanization and intensifying climate change impacts, an increasing amount of impermeable surfaces can result in surface stormwater runoff that overwhelms existing stormwater drainage systems. In response to the urgent need for sustainable cities, there has been a growing body of research on an increasingly popular urban planning ...

Stormwater Management and Retention in Urban Catchment

2015
Rising costs of traditional precipitation wastewater disposal are connected with increasing urbanization. This unfavorable situation enforces to apply local rainwater management wherever possible. The urgent matter is to search for alternative solutions which guarantee effective rainwater management in the area of precipitation occurrence.
