Urban hydrology is a rapidly evolving field that examines the complex interplay between natural water processes and the built environment. Increasing urbanisation and climate change have transformed ...

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 ...

Southern cities such as Houston and Tampa — which faced the wrath of hurricanes Harvey and Irma, respectively — may not be the only urban environments vulnerable to extreme weather. Northern cities ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

“We can read the topography to determine elevation changes and whether the land is urban, agricultural, forest or rangeland, and whether the soil is clayey, like Houston Black, or sandy and the pH ...

Staff from Cincinnati Parks, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Hamilton County Conservation District help move heavy timber to Cooper Creek to help slow the flow of water during heavy storms ...
