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 …

Designing green stormwater infrastructure for hydrologic and human benefits: an image based machine learning approach
… over the last century has degraded our natural water resources by increasing storm-water runoff, reducing nutrient retention, and creating poor ecosystem health downstream. The loss of tree canopy and expansion of impervious area and storm sewer systems have significantly decreased infiltration …

Feasibility of Satellite Water Tanks for Urban Areas in Developing Countries
An intermittent distribution system delivers water to the end users for limited hours on certain days. End users often rely on service pumps, private tanks and on-site filters to cope with the unreliable low quality water supply. These coping mechanisms lead to uneven distribution of the already …
