The intention of this paper is to evaluate the sensitivity of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) output to its input parameters. A global parameter sensitivity analysis is conducted in order to determine which parameters mostly affect the model simulation results. Two different methods of sensitivity analysis are applied in this study. The first one is the partial rank correlation coeffici...

Adsorption is a key water pollution remediation measure used to achieve stormwater quality improvement in Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS). The level of contamination of detained sediment within SuDS assets is not well documented, with published investigations limited to specific contaminant occurrence in ponds, wetlands or infiltration devices (bioretention cells) and generally focuse...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of diagnostic soft-tissue ultrasound (US) on management of emergency department (ED) patients with clinical cellulitis. METHODS This was a prospective observational study in an urban ED of adult patients with clinical soft-tissue infection without obvious abscess. The treating physician's pretest opinions regarding the need for further drainage procedures and...

The urban drainage system is co-regulated by various governmental departments, who adopt different standards in designing the system, an attempt not conducive to prevention of water logging. This study took Zhongshan and Zhuhai as subjects, proposed Copula-based design a calculated most practical solution drainage, waterlogging rainfall based on Kendall’s Return Period, providing references for...

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...

Understanding the driving forces of urban flood variations is important for better formulating future management strategies. This study explores changes in drainage indicators (i.e., catc...

Drainage systems play an important role in the development of managing surface runoff water. This is because without proper management drainage system, it can cause flooding area. Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) has suffered floods and caused significant losses. Therefore, purpose this article to study types available around UTHM In regard, semi-structured interviews were conducted w...
