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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Metal species found at the sediments of water network may reveal a historical record of contamination. The objectives of this study were to quantify the metals Cd, Pb, Cu, Co, Cr, Ni, Zn and Sb in the sediments, to compare ...

Due to the flow of vehicles at Domingos Sartori and Marechal Rondon highways (Botucatu-SP) and the possibility of springs contamination near the roads, a study was carried out to monitor metallic species in the region’s ...

Many storm-water modeling problems consider watersheds comprised of complex flow networks including surfaces, streets, pipes, and channels. Ideally, hydrologic methods would be used to model the accumulation of runoff on ...

Along with human actions, the trees, vegetation, pervious soils, and human structures that make up an urban forest influence several hydrological functions in ways that can affect the quality of life of people living in ...
