A Framework Supporting Green Stormwater Management for Urban Designers

Journal of Environmental Management
Multi-objective Urban Green Space (UGS) design is essential for optimizing limited resources amid diverse urban development challenges. This study introduces a new design support tool that overcomes the data-intensive and expert-reliant limitations faced by urban designers.

Long‐term restoration of river connectivity drives recovery of a diadromous fish in southern Australia

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction River fragmentation disrupts ecological connectivity, constraining the movement, recruitment, and persistence of migratory fishes. Although fishways are widely implemented to mitigate these impacts, most evidence of effectiveness derives from northern hemisphere systems dominated by large‐bodied salmonids.

Occurrence of dissolved organic matter in storm-drain inlet sediments and its implication for urban stormwater infrastructure sustainability

Resources, Environment and Sustainability
In the context of climate change, the effective management of carbon in urban stormwater infrastructure (USI) become increasingly crucial. Research indicates that dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a significant role in the carbon cycle within USI ...

Public Understanding of Water‐Sensitive Urban Design and Implications for Land Use Planning: Insights From Aotearoa New Zealand

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
Conventional urban drainage systems are frequently found to contribute to degradation of urban watercourses. The implementation of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) and associated nature‐based infrastructure is considered one potential solution to mitigate stormwater‐induced degradation.

GIS-based spatial approaches to refining urban catchment delineation that integrate stormwater network infrastructure

Discover Water
Rapid urbanization and escalating climate change impacts have heightened stormwater-related concerns (e.g., pluvial flooding) in cities. Understanding catchment dynamics and characteristics, including precise catchment mapping, is essential to accurate ...

Assessment of Inflow and Infiltration in Sewers: Case Study of Antalya, Türkiye

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unwanted inflow and infiltration (I/I) of rainfall and groundwater into urban sewer systems are a critical issue for sustainable water management. This study examines the data from the two largest and most representative wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in central Antalya, Lara and Hurma, which both have large service areas and diverse ...

Front-loading Urban Stormwater Management for Success – A Perspective Incorporating Current Studies on the Implementation of Retrofit Low-impact Development

Cities and the Environment, 2008
Recent work into the implementation of low-impact development (LID) suggests that a decentralized, source-control approach has the potential to significantly reduce urban stormwater runoff quantity.

Toward an urban soil health index: Emerging indicators for exposure, function, and resilience

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Urban soils are among the most dynamic and human‐impacted soil systems, yet most soil health frameworks remain rooted in agricultural assumptions, capturing fertility and structure while missing urban‐specific concerns: contaminant exposure, extreme heterogeneity, thermal stress, and degraded ecosystem services.

Urban stormwater management: : Optimization of the treatment of stormwater in urban areas

, 2010
The Mulden-Rigolen system, a new urban stormwater management system implemented in Germany, has been examined in this study. The aim of this new system is to replace traditional sewer system for urban road runoff, by infiltrating the incoming water locally through a dual underground system: an active top soil layer and a deeper trench of packed gravel.

Climate Resilience and Environmental Sustainability of Healthcare Facilities in a Rural District of Pakistan: A Mixed‐Methods Assessment Using the WHO Framework

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
A mixed‐methods WHO CRES‐HCF assessment of 12 rural healthcare facilities in Matiari, Pakistan, found only medium climate preparedness (33%–67%), with WASH (41%), workforce (37%), and infrastructure (48%) domains weakest, and energy highest (51%). Environmental built‐form analysis identified poor ventilation, excessive solar heat exposure, insufficient
