Urbanization causes alteration of the thermal regime (surface, air, and water) of the
environment. Heated stormwater runoff flows into lakes, streams, bays, and estuaries, which …

Stream temperature is critical to the survival and reproduction of fauna in cold-water
ecosystems. Urbanization causes abrupt increases in ambient stream temperature via …

Thermal enrichment of coldwater streams by heated stormwater during summer months is
often overlooked. It can be exacerbated by traditional management practices that typically …

Green infrastructure, that is, wet weather management approaches and technologies that
infiltrate, evapotranspire, capture, and reuse stormwater to maintain or restore natural …

Water temperature is an ecological health indicator in streams that is dynamically affected by
weather, hydrologic, and anthropogenic sources. Thermal pollution is transferred to …

Urban runoff can impact the thermal regime of surface waters and degrade valuable aquatic
ecosystems. Some stormwater control measures (SCMs) have been shown to mitigate the …

Green infrastructure (GI) and other stormwater management practices are commonly
designed to reduce stormflow volume and pollutant loads by using infiltration, retention, and …

Impacts of urban land use can include increased stormwater runoff temperature (Tw) leading
to receiving water quality impairment. There is therefore a need to target and mitigate …

Urbanization causes temperature increases in stormwater runoff. Asphalt and other
impervious surfaces absorb heat energy and during rainfall events the stored heat is …

Thermally enriched runoff from urban impervious surfaces can be harmful to aquatic life;
however, only limited information is available on how to mitigate these impacts at the …
