Green stormwater infrastructure is a growing management approach to capturing, infiltrating,
and treating runoff at the source. However, there are several emerging contaminants for …

The impact of reflective and permeable pavements on the urban microclimate is investigated
by means of a fully-integrated urban microclimate model. The model couples four …

The driving mechanisms of urban surface thermal environments usually differ with season.
However, to date, the seasonal differences in the impacts of two-dimensional (2D) and three …

When precipitation happens in summer, the thermal runoff from impervious surfaces flow
into urban lakes, causing the rise of the surface water temperature. Such a process …

During and after rainfall events, the interaction of precipitation with hot urban pavements
leads to hot runoff, and its merger with urban streams can result in an abrupt change in …

Urban heat island effect created by urbanization is to be one of the most worrisome urban
environment issues, and impervious surface (IS) is the main driving factor of the urban heat …

Land surface temperature (LST) is defined as an important indicator in the formation and
evolution of climate. In some cases, changes in landscape patterns affect LST, even more …

Evaporation from impervious surfaces plays a vital role in the catchment water cycle.
Exploring the spatiotemporal variation patterns and influencing mechanisms of impervious …

Urban water bodies are often subject to high runoff temperatures from heat exchange
between rainfall and urban surfaces; however, this process can be difficult to define due to …

The stormwater runoff formed on the urban impervious surface in summer may carry a large
amount of heat, which will have a negative impact on the urban receiving water bodies. In …
