Life cycle assessment is used to systematically evaluate the environmental impact of underground plastic recharge chambers (RCs) for stormwater management. Using cradle-to-gate life and a functional unit 1 m3 capacity, different RC structure types, manufacturing processes materials are considered. The inventory based on various commercially available RCs, including injection-molded or extruded ...

Nowadays, stormwater infiltration systems are frequently used because of their ability to reduce flows and volumes in downstream sewers, decrease overflows in surface waters and make it possible to recharge groundwater. Moreover, they come in various forms with different uses such as floodable sport grounds or basins used as gardens. Despite these advantages the long term sustainability of thes...

To offset the detrimental effects of urbanization on groundwater recharge, stormwater managers are focusing on infiltrating much of the runoff from a site that was generated because of development. For this to be effective, tools are required to predict the potential for contamination resulting from this infiltration for many site conditions, because infiltration should be stressed in areas whe...

The relationship between Taiwan’s groundwater resources recharge strategy and flood disasters is significant. adaptation strategies of traditional urbanization areas simulate the spatial distribution permeable pavements under different rainfall intensities that affect surface runoff infiltration. Since there are many parameters Stormwater Management Model set in low-impact development modules, ...

Groundwater is increasingly important for satisfying California's growing fresh water demand. Strategies like managed aquifer recharge (MAR) can improve groundwater supplies, mitigating the negative consequences of persistent groundwater overdraft. Distributed stormwater collection (DSC)-MAR projects collect and infiltrate excess hillslope runoff before it reaches a stream, focusing on 40-400 h...

Stormwater capture systems have the potential to address many urban stormwater management challenges, particularly in water-scarce regions like Southern California. Here, we investigate best-case limits of water supply and retention benefits delivered by a 10,000 m3 system equipped with real-time control (RTC) on university campus Using copula-based conditional probability analysis, two perform...

Increased stormwater flows are a direct result of urbanization and the consequent increase in the proportion of land area under impervious surface. Due to its contribution to abnormally high stream flows and its role as a carrier of pollutants that degrade water quality, excess stormwater runoff has negative impacts on both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In response to the increased magnit...

stormwater represents one of the least researched forms of wastewater in environmental science. contaminated industrial stormwater, that is stormwater generated by runoff from industrial sites such as refineries, smelters and mine sites, is even less well understood. however, contaminated industrial stormwater can have damaging environmental impacts because it generally occurs in sudden bursts ...
