Mapping hazard from urban non-point pollution: a screening model to support sustainable urban drainage planning.
Non-point sources of pollution are difficult to identify and control, and are one of the main reasons that urban rivers fail to reach the water quality objectives set for them. Whilst sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are available to help combat this diffuse pollution, they are mostly installed in areas of new urban development. However, SuDS must also be installed in existing built areas if...

Urban and suburban development is one of the leading causes of this loss: A recent study indicated that every day in Kentucky more than 100 acres of rural land is being converted to urban devel...
متن کاملUrban planning, urban Management & Urban Air Pollution and solutions for solving it
In response to the facts that some Asian developing countries were experiencing the fastest rate of industrialisation and urbanisation, several international initiatives called for a better and ‘sustainable’ urban management. Development of management tools including strategic environmental assessment (SEA), life cycle assessment (LCA), cost benefit analysis (CBA), and environmental managemen...
متن کاملMemory Is Enhanced at Behaviorally Relevant Times
Human memory for visual scenes varies according to a number of factors. These include the novelty of the scene, its behavioral relevance, and the subject’s attention. Often, people will clearly remember details of the context in which they received shocking news—for example, remembering where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Elvis had died. This raises the possibility tha...
متن کاملReduced flight-to-light behaviour of moth populations exposed to long-term urban light pollution.
The globally increasing light pollution is a well-recognized threat to ecosystems, with negative effects on human, animal and plant wellbeing. The most well-known and widely documented consequence of light pollution is the generally fatal attraction of nocturnal insects to artificial light sources. However, the evolutionary consequences are unknown. Here we report that moth populations from urb...
