Background As populations become increasingly urbanised, the preservation of urban
green space (UGS) becomes paramount. UGS is not just dedicated recreational space such …

Climate change, urbanization, and ecological concerns are all driving the need for new
stormwater management strategies. The effects of urbanization are exaggerated by climate …

In recent years, urban pluvial flooding caused by extreme rainfall has increasingly occurred
across China. This paper reviews the challenges faced by China in addressing urban pluvial …

Deleterious effects of urban stormwater are widely recognized. In several countries,
regulations have been put into place to improve the conditions of receiving water bodies, but …

Mitigating the impact of increasing impervious surfaces on stormwater runoff by low impact
development (LID) is currently being widely promoted at site and local scales. In turn, the …

Develo** a green infrastructure is a major environmental policy ambition in many
countries around the world. However, green infrastructure objectives can vary, especially in …

Urbanizing environments alter the hydrological cycle by redirecting stream networks for
stormwater and wastewater transmission and increasing impermeable surfaces. These …

The covering of native soils with impervious surfaces (eg roofs, roads, and pavement)
prevents infiltration of rainfall into the ground, resulting in increased surface runoff and …

While infiltration source-control technologies are increasingly used to manage the volume,
rate and quality of stormwater runoff, there is little guidance on their role and impact on …

Urban stormwater runoff remains an important issue that causes local and regional-scale
water quantity and quality issues. Stormwater best management practices (BMPs) have …
