An Overview of Water Sensitive Urban Design Practices in Australia

Ecologically Sustainable Development in Australia can be described as going beyond the protection of the environment from the impacts of pollution, to protecting and conserving natural resources. In an urban environmental context this means urban development (both greenfield development and urban renewal) that seeks to have no long term effects on various aspects of the environment related to a...

Study about Realizability Situation and Utilization Contexts of Water Sensitive Urban Design

Climate changes, failure to complete the natural cycle of water in the city due to unsustainableconstruction of the urban environments and increase of impervious surfaces, lack of nutrition of undergroundaquifer in the cities, unsustainable management of stormwater and the floods due to them in the periods of rainfallcaused to provide an approach that is called water sensitive urban design. Thi...

Role of Resilience in Sustainable Urban Stormwater Management

Typically, best management practices (BMPs) are implemented to help sustainable stormwater management in urban areas. Over recent decades the selection of urban stormwater management measures for a site has been a challenge among urban planners where thecriterion based on flood volume no longer suffices for selecting urban drainage solutions. Therefore there is a need to consider a set of holis...

Analyses of PAHs in Urban Stormwater Particulates

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants of concern in many receiving waters. The transport and fate of PAHs in the environment depends primarily on their physical and chemical properties and the reactivity of the compound. A fugacity calculation method presented by Mackay, et al (1992) was used to predict the partitioning of selected PAHs into different environ...
