Urban Pond: a Landscape of Multiple Meanings
Ponds have a range of ecological, social and aesthetic values. However, little work has been done to appraise the values assigned to ponds located in an urban setting. During 2004, 10 ponds were studied in urban areas of Merseyside. Standard ecological techniques were applied to assess diversity of invertebrates, plants and amphibians. A landscape character assessment technique was used to desc...
متن کاملRoad Salts as Environmental Constraints in Urban Pond Food Webs
Freshwater salinization is an emerging environmental filter in urban aquatic ecosystems that receive chloride road salt runoff from vast expanses of impervious surface cover. Our study was designed to evaluate the effects of chloride contamination on urban stormwater pond food webs through changes in zooplankton community composition as well as density and biomass of primary producers and consu...
متن کاملMandatory urban rainwater harvesting: learning from experience.
Rainwater harvesting is effectively mandated in several urban areas of New Zealand. To understand the costs and benefits of rainwater harvesting from an end-user perspective, semistructured interviews were conducted with 14 homeowners in northern Auckland affected by these regulations. Residents report differences in four aspects of urban rainwater infrastructure - security of supply, water qua...
متن کاملIntegrated Workflow and a New Tool for Urban Rainwater Management
For stormwater management, Low Impact Development (LID) practices provide more sustainable solutions than traditional piping and storm ponds. However, to be effective, LID practices must be integrated into planning at the beginning of the design process; yet architects and related design professionals making early decisions are not equipped to consider runoff calculations with their current too...
متن کاملControls on the Chemical and Isotopic Compositions of Urban Rainwater and Stormwater in a Semiarid Zone
Analyses of regional-scale synoptics and air-mass trajectories, local-scale atmospheric measurements (wind direction and speed, air temperature, dust load, SO 2 and NO x concentrations in the air, rain amount and intensity), and chemical and isotopic compositions of rainwater collected in the coastal city of Ashdod, Israel, were used to identify the various contributing sources to rainwater sal...
