In addition, the large volume of stormwater that rapidly enters streams from paved surfaces can produce flooding that erodes streambanks and destroys natural habitats. Everyday activities such as doing the laundry, flushing the toilet, and using the in-sink garbage disposal add chemical and ...
Little is known about the particles attached on the surfaces of coarse (> 150 μm) road-deposited sediments (RDS), which are potential contributors of stormwater pollution. Therefore, the size distributions and heavy metal (including Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr, and Ni) pollution of RDS were evaluated ...
Thermal pollution is currently a huge menaceand is mainly influenced by power plants and industrial manufacturers that use water as a coolant. Urban stormwater runoff from parking lots and roads also discharges water of elevated temperatures into adjacent water bodies. When water is either used as a...

Causative factors include decayed infrastructure ; facility malfunctions; or heavy rainfall events which overwhelm systems using combined sewers and stormwater drains (known as combined sewer overflows). In unsewered areas, improperly designed or malfunctioning septic tanks can contaminate groundwater and...
(e.g., stormwater, contaminated fresh water, brackish water) due to limited and depleting fresh water supplies. The existing water treatment systems, distribution systems, and disposable habits coupled with huge centralized schemes are no more sustainable. The current researches do not adequately ...
Sequestering carbon in soil by biomass conversion to biochar has been considered one of the best methods of mitigating climate change25,26. In this regard, biochar has the potential to build a zero-waste policy for sustainable farming, thus, decreasing the associated pollution loading to the ...
Theenvironment benefitsfrom fewer greenhouse gas emissions, decreased air pollution, decreased energy use through a cooler roof, as well as better stormwater runoff management and quality of the groundwater. Are Metal Roofs Noisy? That’s actually a myth. The truth is that a roof needs layers ...
The stormwater management model (SWMM) was adapted and calibrated to Jinan, a typical piedmont city in China, to verify the large-scale applicability of th... H Yu,G Huang,C Wu - 《Water Science & Technology A Journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research》 被引量: ...
Land use type is one of the most important factors that affect the uncertainty in non-point source (NPS) pollution simulation. In this study, seventeen sensitive parameters were screened from the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for parameter uncertainty analysis for different land use...
