Experimental Analysis and Modeling of a Stormwater Perlite Filter
(WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION, 2008)
This paper presents the study of a mixed porous media composed of expanded perlite and a nonwoven needle-punched geotextile used to reduce the suspended solids load and concentration in urban runoff. Laboratory procedures ...
Barriers to sustainable urban stormwater management in developing countries: The case of Brazil
(2022-01-01)
Urban stormwater management is one of the key challenges concerning sustainability in urban areas. Sustainable urban stormwater management (SUSM) has been increasingly adopted around the world and proved its effectiveness ...
Stormwater detention reservoirs: An opportunity for monitoring and a potential site to prevent the spread of urban microplastics
(2020-07-01)
Stormwater runoff carries pollutants from urban areas to rivers and has the potential to be a main contributing source of microplastics (MPs) to the ecosystem. Stormwater detention reservoirs (SDRs) differ from ponds and ...
Stormwater reuse, a viable option: Fact or fiction?
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-12-01)
The increasing spread of urbanisation is a common phenomenon witnessed in most parts of the world due to the perceived benefits of urban living. A compounding issue is the growing shortage of safe and reliable water sources. ...
Infiltration of stormwater in bioretention cells: numerical model and field experiment
(INST MEXICANO TECHNOLOGIAAGUA, 2005)
Traditional stormwater management does not mitigate groundwater depletion resulting from groundwater pumping and reduction in recharge. Infiltration practices, such as rain gardens, offer a potentially effective approach ...
Composition and quantification of the anthropogenic and natural fractions of wastes collected from the stormwater drainage system for discussions about the waste management and people behavior
(2013-08-01)
A study was made of the composition of wastes collected from the pipes of the stormwater drainage system of Sorocaba, SP, Brazil (600 thousand inhabitants). A total of 10 samples weighing at least 100 kg each were sorted ...

Stormwater management for highly urbanized areas in the tropics: Life cycle assessment of low impact development practices
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-07-01)
Within the contemporary view of stormwater management, introduced through integrated urban water management approaches (e.g., low impact development [LID]), there are several strategies that can be used in urban settlements ...
