The current approach for protecting the receiving water environment from urban stormwater pollution is the adoption of structural measures commonly referred to as Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD). The treatment efficiency ...

Urbanisation leads to changes in storm water quantity and quality due to the increase in impervious surface areas. While the quantity changes include increase in runoff volume and peak flow and decrease in the time to the ...

The chapter discusses two conceptual models developed for replicating bioretention basin and constructed wetland behaviour. This discussion firstly outlines the development processes adopted including the theory applied, ...

This chapter presents the assessment of the constructed wetland treatment performance . The assessment was done by partitioning the inflow runoff hydrograph into ten segments and then investigating the treatment performance ...

A water supply system can be impacted by rainfall reduction due to climate change, thereby reducing its supply potential. This highlights the need to understand the system resilience, which refers to the ability to maintain ...

Potential human health risk from waterborne diseases arising from unsatisfactory performance of on-site wastewater treatment systems is driven by landscape factors such as topography, soil characteristics, depth to water ...

Estuarine environment is complex and receives different contaminants from numerous sources that are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. The distribution, source, contamination and ecological risk status of heavy metals ...

Sediment samples collected over a 3-year period from Brisbane River, Australia, were analysed for fifteen (15) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The total PAH concentrations varied from 148 to 3079 ng/g with a mean ...

The inactivation rates of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and MS2 phage were determined in fresh undiluted, diluted and six months aged stored urine samples at three temperatures ranging from 15 to 35°C in a subtropical region ...
