Urban heat island (UHI) effect poses great challenges to urban environmental quality,
building energy consumption, and public health. Over decades, research efforts have been …

Conventional impervious pavements have dark surface and large thermal inertia. During
summertime they tend to absorb and store solar radiation but negate the evaporative …

In this paper, the implementation of Low Impact Development systems (LIDs) as source
control solutions that contribute to restore the critical components of natural flow regimes, is …

Low impact development (LID) practices are able to mitigate the detrimental effects of
urbanization and climate change due to their salient design features. LID can restore the …

Urbanization has replaced natural permeable surfaces with roofs, roads, and other sealed
surfaces, which convert rainfall into runoff that finally is carried away by the local sewage …

Porous pavements are easily retrofitted, and effective in improving water quality and
hydrology, but prone to clogging. Despite being a major determinant in the lifespan of …

Abstract Purpose of Review Stormwater runoff of nutrients from developed landscapes is
recognized as a major threat to water quality degradation through cultural eutrophication …

This paper reviews the current status of permeable pavement research and limitations of its
applicability. This discusses the influence of design factors such as permeable pavement …

Permeable pavements are being adopted as a green solution in many parts of the world to
manage urban stormwater quantity and quality. This paper reports on the measured in-situ …

It is important to evaluate the effectiveness of permeable pavements on flood mitigation at
different spatial scales for their effective application, for example, sponge city construction in …
