Effects of climatic changes, progressing urbanization and improved environmental controls on the simulated urban stormwater quality in a Northern Sweden community were studied. Future scenarios accounting for those changes were developed and their effects simulated with the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). It was observed that the simulated stormwater quality was highly sensitive to the sce...

One of the most complex and difficult questions to answer concerns how organize economically support public services all kinds. In terms that involve a multiplicity actors objectives, as is case with urban stormwater management, difficulty magnified resources never seem be sufficient. This paper reviews successful approaches management in number countries concludes it both feasible possible suc...

Cities are expanding green infrastructure to enhance resilience and ecosystem services. Although green infrastructure is promoted for its multifunctionality, projects are typically sited based on a particular benefit, such as stormwater abatement, rather than a suite of socio-economic and environmental benefits. This stems in part from the lack of stakeholder-informed, city-scale approaches to ...

The transportation of pollutants from impervious surfaces during runoff events to receiving water bodies is a serious environmental problem. Summer runoff is also heated by impervious surfaces, causing thermal enrichment in receiving water body systems and degradation of coldwater aquatic ecosystems. End-of-pipe stormwater management facilities that are open to the environment can result in fur...

the major purpose of this study is to assess the perception of managers in the forest, range and watershedorganization. it is an applied study by using descriptive–correlative method. a questionnaire was developedand data collected from 105 respondents. the validity and reliability of questionnaires was verified. theresults of study show that there was a relationship between educational level, ...

Urban stormwater runoff is a transport medium for many contaminants from anthropogenic sources. There are many alternative management strategies available to treat these contaminants. One of the technologies suggested for this purpose is the use of permeable pavements to minimise the quantity of surface runoff generated by impervious surfaces within an urban catchment. Reported herein are the r...

Decentralized approaches to urban stormwater management, whereby installations of green infrastructure (e.g., rain gardens, bioswales, constructed wetlands) are dispersed throughout a management area, are cost-effective solutions with co-benefits beyond just water abatement. Instead of investing in traditional approaches for managing stormwater, such as deep tunnels and high capacity treatment ...

The increase in urbanization and climate change projections point to a worsening of floods urban river contamination. Cities need adopt adaptive drainage measures capable mitigating these drivers change. This study presents practical methodology for modular design bioretention systems incorporating land use into existing sizing methods. Additionally, sensitivity analysis methods was performed. ...

The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme storms pose a growing challenge to stormwater management in highly urbanized areas. Without an adequate appropriate system, the associated floods will continue cause significant damage infrastructure loss life. Low Impact Development (LID) has become emerging alternative traditional system for management. This study evaluates optimizes applicati...
