Urbanization modifies the natural water cycle particularly by reducing the water storage capacity. We analysed the storage capacity of three stormwater management designs in south-western Finland to demonstrate how an urban catchment releases stormwater and how storage contributes to flood resilience. The ...

Therefore, while ensuring economic growth in urban areas, investment in suburbs and towns should be increased and new urbanization should be vigorously promoted in order to narrow the internal differences in regional economies. (3) Implement dual control of water supply and water use, improve ...
To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed centralized water reuse framework for multiple user applications, a case study in Tianjin City of China was conducted. This is an attempt to extend the research framework in urban areas, and provide a reference for development in megacities. Future pr...
it is important to characterize runoff dynamics in anthropogenic environments. In this study, the relationship between surface runoff and groundwater recharge in urban areas is explored using a top-down water balance approach. Two empirical models were used to estimate runoff: (1) an updated, advan...
flow into the ocean. This approach to water infrastructure in urban areas is not sustainable in the long-term because it does not value water as a finite resource that is unpredictable in its supply. Without changes in design, cities will become less liveable in the second half of this ...
AquacycleWoden Valley urban catchmentCanberraCurrent urban water management practices aim to remove stormwater and wastewater efficiently from urban areas. An alternative approach is to consider stormwater and wastewater as a potential resource substitute for a portion of the water imported via the ...
In order to provide access to water and sanitation services, in urban areas the natural water cycle is altered by human infrastructure and activities. The anthropic water cycle begins with water intake from surface or underground, followed by water potabilization, storage, distribution, consumption,...

Natural areas, however, are often not evaluated with their ecological importance in mind and are destroyed or degraded for more immediate economic benefits. Urban planning and sustainable development must prioritize the conservation and restoration of wild lands adjacent to urban areas and properly value...
