Nutrient Removal from Stormwater using Australian Native Plants in Constructed Floating Wetland
(Corresponding) Nuruzzaman M., Anwar A., Sarukkalige R.
Topic:
Water treatment
Stormwater pollution causes excessive nutrient influx to rivers and lakes, which can trigger algal bloom and subsequent damages to the freshwater ecosystem. Constructed Floating Wetland (CFW), a cost-effective technology, uses aquatic plants in a hydroponic system to strip nutrients from stormwater...Read more
How to estimate biocide mass loads in urban water discharges and their impact on the river contamination?
(Corresponding) BRESSY A., PAIJENS C., TEDOLDI D., FRERE B., MAILLER R., ROCHER V., MOILLERON R.
Topic:
Emerging pollutants
Biocidal substances are ubiquitous in urban areas; they are used as preservatives in daily products, building materials, and as domestic pesticides. Despite these facts, urban sources of biocides, contrary to agricultural inputs, have been overlooked in terms of environmental risk assessment. The...Read more

A Decision Support Matrix for Water Quality Based Stormwater Management
(Corresponding) Suits K., Annus I., Kändler N., Vassiljev A.
Topic:
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Extreme weather events and climate change are stressing urban stormwater systems beyond their capacity, posing potential threat to both the built and natural environments. This paper aims to contribute to risk mitigation through evaluating the feasibility of using a decision support matrix for...Read more

Development of indicators for performance assessment of blue-green infrastructures
(Corresponding) Kretschmer F., Prenner F., Ertl T., Pucher B.
Topic:
Sustainable water resources management with nature-based solutions
The application of blue-green infrastructures in urban areas incorporate various benefits and is thus widely accepted today. However, while aspects of planning and construction are well approved, operation and maintenance are still lacking broad attention. To contribute to the progress in the field...Read more

Insights gained from stormwater e-monitoring in Viimsi, Estonia
(Corresponding) Suits K., Rajarao G., Kändler N., Vassiljev A., Annus I.
Topic:
IoT-based environmental monitoring
The Baltic Sea is at risk from urban societies' diffuse pollution, which includes harmful substances, nutrients, and marine debris. Stormwater, the primary means by which these pollutants are transported, is typically evaluated through the collection and analysis of grab samples, which show...Read more

Evaluating the water quality of stormwater runoffs in urban area
(Corresponding) Yang F., Gato-Trinidad S., Hossain I.
Topic:
Heavy metals in the environment
This paper presents the results of stormwater quality monitoring from four constructed wetlands located in residential and industrial catchments. Preliminary results revealed that pollutants’ types and concentrations vary depending on the catchments’ characteristics. It is found that the...Read more
