Sustainable cities and institutional change : the transformation of urban stormwater management
… Problematically, we know far less about why urban institutions change, when they do, in the support of sustainability objectives. Why have some cities progressed in translating ideas about environmental sustainability into enduring institutional reforms while other similarly situated cities …

Regulatory and Economic Consequences of Empirical Uncertainty for Urban Stormwater Management
… for mitigation of the ecological effects of urban stormwater runoff has been delegated to local government authorities through the Clean Water Act's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems' Stormwater (NPDES SW), and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) programs. These programs require …

Simulation and design of diversion and detention system for urban stormwater management
… way to control nonpoint source pollutant in urban areas. This can be achieved by a diversion box and detention basin system. To numerically simulate the response of the system to a design rainfall event and the associated pollutant loadings for a given drainage area, a desk top model has been …

Institutionalisation of integrated urban stormwater management: multiple-case analysis of local management reform across metropolitan Sydney
… advancing the institutionalisation of integrated urban stormwater management in pursuit of sustainable urban water environments. It is now accepted that traditional approaches to managing urban stormwater environments are unsustainable and that integrated approaches reflecting an ecosystem-based …

Urban Stormwater Management: Treatment of Heavy Metals and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons with Bioretention and Permeable Pavement Technologies
<p>Urban stormwater runoff is a major non-point source of pollutants release into the environment. Pollutants of concern include sediments; heavy metals; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); petroleum hydrocarbons; and chlorinated organic compounds, such as pesticides and polychlorinated …

Leveraging Technology to Add Value to a Phase II NPDES Permit
… Systems (MS4) in the control of runoff from urban areas. The complex task of urban runoff mitigation has been investigated for several decades, resulting in a large variety of available computing and measurement tools for urban stormwater management. Unfortunately, these tools may not be …

Hydro-Urbanism : Reimagining Urban Landscapes to Accommodate and Utilize Stormwater
Urban flooding presents a significant challenge to cities worldwide, resulting in loss of life and economic damage. Factors such as urbanization, climate change, and extreme weather events compound the vulnerability of urban areas to flooding, with rapid urbanization emerging as a primary driver of …

Spatial arrangement of stormwater infiltration affects partitioning of subsurface storage and baseflow timing
Urban stormwater management is using distributed facilities that treat stormwater near where it falls at an increasing rate. These facilities are often designed to infiltrate water that would have previously been conveyed overland. By directing water that would have previously made it to receiving …

Implications of transitioning to green infrastructure: a quantitative sustainability assessment of stormwater management
… of green infrastructure as a means to reduce stormwater through infiltration, evapotranspiration, and reuse is occurring in municipalities to reduce wastewater treatment loads (in the case of combined sewer systems) and pollution of surface water. Although green infrastructure technologies are …

The critical success factors for landscape management of operations on sustainable urban drainage system (SuDS) projects
Population explosion and urbanization are the most significant reasons for increasing pressure on the earth's natural resources, particularly water. Historically, water services have been supplied and discharged through a network of piped infrastructure and hardened surfaces with the main …

Assessing the use of exfiltration pervious pavements as a best management practice for storm water management for Lusaka urban
Stormwater management is being justified as a fundamental line of consideration in achieving sustainable urban development. Lusaka urban experiences impacts ensuing from developments in form of urban floods. This study was undertaken in Lusaka urban to assess the use of a full exfiltration pervious …
