Land use management plays a key role in mitigating urban river pollution. Past research has addressed how primary land uses influence river water and sediment quality, but has given limited attention to the subdivision of ...

First flush is an important phenomenon commonlyused in stormwater treatment system design where only the highly concentrated initial part of the runoff hydrograph is subject to treatment. Despite the existing methods for ...

The ability of biochar beads embedded with freshwater algae ̶ Chlorella pyrenoidosa (Bc-Cp beads) were investigated for their efficiency in the removal of pollutants. Combining these is an innovative concept which can ...

In this study, the ability of the aerobic biogranulation process to remove organic matter, total nitrogen, and total phosphorous from wastewater was investigated. The effect of organic matter load on the quality of the ...

Stormwater runoff pollution has become a key environmental issue in urban areas. Reliable estimation of stormwater pollutant discharge is important for implementing robust water quality management strategies. Even though ...

In recent years, the presence of the group of contaminants, termed as microplastics (MPs) has been recognized as significant water pollutants with considerable potential for exerting adverse impacts on human health and ...

With global number of cases 106 million and death toll surpassing 2.3 million as of mid-February 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic is certainly one of the major threats that humankind have faced in modern history. As the scientific ...

The adsorption-desorption behaviour of heavy metals in aquatic environments is complex and the processes are regulated by the continuous interactions between water and sediments. This study provides a quantitative understanding ...

Resilience as a concept is multi-faceted with complex dimensions. In a disaster context, there is lack of consistency in conceptualizing social resilience. This results in ambiguity of its definition, properties, and ...

Limited knowledge of the combined effects of water and sediment properties and metal ionic characteristics on the solid-liquid partitioning of heavy metals constrains the effective management of urban waterways. This study ...
