Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 64, No. 3 (May 2019), pp. 877-894 (18 pages) Headwater streams draining urbanized watersheds are subject to frequent and intense storm flows. These floods can disrupt ...

In this study, we investigated the relationship between watershed characteristics and hydrology using high spatial resolution impervious surface area (ISA), hydrologic simulations and spatial ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — At a time when many municipalities are seeking to control urban stormwater by investing heavily in green infrastructure — such as water-quality ponds, infiltration basins, ...

A study models the impacts of city infrastructures on the environmental quality of rivers and streams. Cities are hubs of not only sociopolitical power and economic production, but also land ...

Unusually heavy rainfall years have been becoming more frequent in recent decades in India. As a result, people are also experiencing more frequent occurrences of floods in several parts of the ...

Findings from new research suggest that stormwater management may be less effective at decreasing urban runoff than is commonly assumed. At a time when many municipalities are seeking to control urban ...
