STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

ACCOUNTING FOR BIODIVERSITY: Periphery Urbanization, Environmental Conflict, and Spatial Inequality in Monetizing the Value of Nature

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In terms of mainstream sustainability economics, market‐led initiatives aimed at biodiversity restoration represent a productive, morally conscientious choice. Under this view, efforts in areas such as biodiversity offsetting, net gain, or finance are considered effective tools for preventing or managing environmental degradation.

Stormwater Quality Characteristics in (Dutch) Urban Areas and Performance of Settlement Basins

Challenges, 2014
Stormwaters, flowing into storm sewers, are known to significantly increase the annual pollutant loads entering urban receiving waters and this results in significant degradation of the receiving water quality.

Stormwater Management in Urban Coastal Areas—A Review

Water
Stormwater management in coastal urban cities, where drainage networks are influenced by marine dynamics and specific soil and altimetry conditions, has specific challenges that need to be addressed to ensure adequate management in such areas, which are also heavily affected by floods. Their location downstream of drainage basins and the interaction of

Flight Initiation Distance Varies With Proximity to Humans and Feeding Opportunity in Rock Hyraxes, Procavia capensis

Ethology, EarlyView.
Rock hyraxes (Procavia capensis) showed longer flight initiation distances in colonies further from human dwellings, and shorter distances when food was present. There was no evidence that the food effect differed among colonies. ABSTRACT Urban wildlife must persist in close proximity to humans.

Stormwater quality modeling in urbanized areas

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Stormwater quality modeling with the use of Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) is presented. The model has been calibrated on the basis of measurements of flow and stormwater quality performed on a real catchment in Łódź, Poland.

Enhancing Recharge in the Edwards Aquifer, Texas: Measures, Outcomes, and Lessons for Karst Aquifers

Groundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Managed aquifer recharge is a widely adopted method that involves storing excess water underground for future use. While managed aquifer recharge has been applied globally to different aquifer types, its use in karst aquifers is less common due to the unique hydrogeological characteristics of these systems, including high permeability ...
