With the aim of improving knowledge about the stability and reliability of anaerobic
wastewater treatment systems, several researchers have studied the effects of operational or …

Microplastic pathways in the environment must be better understood to help select
appropriate mitigation strategies. In this 2-year long field study, microplastics were …

Currently, continued urbanization and development result in an increase of impervious

Urban surface runoff (USR) and drainage system overflows during wet weather (WWF) play
a key role in shaping water pollution. Particularly, the impact of large amounts of microplastic …

Stormwater runoff was monitored on 13 separate urban watersheds, which were chosen to
represent distinct types of residential and industrial development, along with various …

The treatment of urban surface runoff is steadily becoming common practice. Good
management of treatment works requires an understanding of the first flush phenomenon of …

Urbanisation significantly impacts water environments with increased runoff and the
degradation of water quality. The management of quantity impacts are straight forward, but …

Stormwater runoff clearly impacts water quality and ecological health of urban receiving
waters. Subsequent management efforts are often guided by conceptual models of …

This review interprets highway runoff characterization studies performed on different
