Uncontrolled stormwater runoff not only creates drainage problems and flash floods but also presents a considerable threat to water quality and the environment. These problems can, to a large extent, be reduced by a type of stormwater management approach employing permeable pavement systems (PPS) in urban, industrial and commercial areas, where frequent problems are caused by intense undrained ...

This research presents an integration of remote sensing and GIS for determining the runoff coefficient (C) recommended by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Water Pollution Control Federation in 1969. The C is a runoff index used as an input parameter in the most commonly used procedure: the rational method for storm-water runoff calculation in small urban watersheds for storm drai...

Urban drainage infrastructures are facing critical challenges due to a lack of integrated asset management, periodic maintenance, improper design, and construction methodologies. The objective this study is understand the urban assess failure causes their impacts recommend possible mitigation measures. Drainage analyzed using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) qualitative multicriteria decision...

Tracking waterborne microplastic (MP) in urban areas is a challenging task because of the various sources and transport pathways involved. Since MP occurs low concentrations most wastewater stormwater streams, large sample volumes need to be captured, prepared, carefully analyzed. The recent research focused mainly on emissions at treatment plants (WWTPs), as obvious entry points into receiving...

Greater urban demand for finite water resources, increased frequency of drought resulting from erratic weather, and increased pressure to reduce drainage water volumes have intensified the need to reuse drainage water. A study was initiated in 1999 on a 32.4-ha saline-sodic field (Lethent clay loam series; fine, montmorillonitic, thermic, Typic Natrargid) located on the west side of California'...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the sources, transport and distribution of hydrophobic organic contaminants produced in an urban area. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) were employed in the storm-water drainage of the city of Lahti, in an adjacent boreal lake (Vesijärvi) and along its shore. Samples were analysed for 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 28 polychlorinated biphenyl...

A large number of human diseases are related to poor access to water and sewer systems, inadequate solid waste management and deficient storm water drainage. The goal of this study was to formulate environmental sanitation indicators and classify sanitation conditions in specific sewer basins and their respective neighborhoods. The database used contains information on the following sanitation ...

Hydraulic heritage systems, both underground and exposed, have been known to be sustainable for millennia. Persian and also Roman aqueducts are examples of such hydrosystems. Their values are often overlooked but they have undeniable advantages: they have functional interconnectedness with their surrounding society and ecology, which sometimes leads to revitalization plans. By using the notion ...

Waterlogging induced by rain in urban areas has a potential risk impact on property and safety. This paper focuses the of waterlogging evaluates central city Shanghai. A simplified depth model is developed different with drainage capacity rainfall consumption simplifying effect complex terrain characteristics hydrological situation. Based its classification collection, Rain-induced Urban Risk M...
