Summary: This study applies the water footprint approach to determine the location of low-impact development (LID) practices in urban areas. The performance of three LID practices, rainwater harvesting systems, permeable pavements, and bioretention systems, were evaluated and ten suitable sites for LID implementation were identified. The runoff reduction rate reached up to 65% by rainwater harvesting systems or at least 3% by permeable pavements. This study provides a simpler and more effective approach to integrating an urban water footprint into LID planning and stormwater management in urban areas.

Summary: Urban stormwater drainage systems (USDSs) are crucial for protecting cities from rainfall and urban floods. This study proposed a sustainability index that evaluates the performance of USDSs based on reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability indices. The results showed that optimizing the sizes of BMPs and channels can improve the sustainability index of USDSs and reduce costs.

Summary: The study transformed a secondary school campus into a sponge campus by installing Low Impact Development (LID) facilities, which resulted in high runoff control effect and energy conservation potential. The performance of LID facilities under different rainfall intensities was assessed using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), showing significant reductions in peak flow and total inflow. The sponge campus achieved effective removal of suspended solids and contributed to water storage capacity in the neighboring region.

Summary: Bioretention systems are effective in reducing stormwater runoff, but modeling of these systems has received less attention. This study compared the performance of DRAINMOD-Urban and SWMM LID module, and found that DRAINMOD-Urban replicated drainage hydrographs better while SWMM produced better overflow hydrographs. The results suggest an opportunity for model coupling to improve bioretention cell modeling.

Summary: Media amendment significantly enhances the removal of dissolved nutrients in bioretention systems, but it is challenging to maintain both stability and efficiency during long-term operation. Therefore, in practical applications, factors such as catchment characteristics, prioritized pollutants, and meteorological factors should be considered when selecting suitable amended media and design factors to maximize the stability and efficiency of bioretention systems.

Summary: This study investigates the uncertainty of best management practice (BMP) effectiveness in reducing total nitrogen (TN) load, and finds that the uncertainty of BMP effectiveness is greater than the uncertainty of TN load simulation. BMP effectiveness tends to be higher in summer and has lower uncertainty. The parallel terrace is identified as the most effective measure.

Summary: This paper simulated the runoff process for five types of LID facilities and evaluated their control effects on runoff volume and quality. The results showed a decreasing marginal effect in the deployed area of LID facilities, with permeable pavement achieving the best control effect. The correlation analysis indicated that the different indicators of these facilities can be estimated from each other through regression equations.

Summary: This study found that rain gardens with internal water storage design showed significantly higher nitrogen removal efficiency and lower N2O emission potential compared to conventional rapid-filtration rain gardens. In terms of microbial composition, there were significant differences at the genus level between the two types of rain gardens, especially in potential denitrifying genera.

Summary: This study monitored stormwater runoff entering a rain garden facility, and found that the rain garden effectively reduced pollutants including solids, organics, nutrients, and heavy metals over a five-year period, with high volume reduction. However, volume reduction may decrease over time due to accumulation of solids, reducing infiltration capacity. In addition, a deep learning-based model was developed to predict pollutant concentrations with high accuracy.

Summary: Rainwater harvesting systems are widely implemented in urban areas to address water scarcity and stormwater issues. However, the impacts of rainfall change on these systems vary in different climatic zones. This study found that rainfall change can affect both water saving and stormwater control performance of rainwater harvesting systems in Pakistan, with specific locations requiring adaptive measures to mitigate negative impacts.

Summary: The study investigated the stormwater retention and detention performance of green roof modules with different substrate types and depths in Beijing, China. Results showed that green roofs with 15 cm substrate depth offered higher stormwater retention and peak runoff attenuation rates compared to those with 10 cm substrates. However, in highly urbanized areas of Beijing, no significant difference was found in stormwater control performance between the two types, due to the high frequency of light rainfall events and short dry weather periods. The Hydrus-1D simulations revealed a critical depth of substrates for optimal stormwater retention performance in green roofs.

Summary: The stormwater retention performance of green roofs is influenced by design configurations and climates. A hydrological model was developed to simulate moisture content and evapotranspiration changes in green roofs, and it showed good performance in validation using monitoring data. The model was applied to study green roofs in different climates in China, and it was found that the evapotranspiration and stormwater retention rates of green roofs vary with different configurations and climates. The study highlights the importance of configuration optimization for enhancing the stormwater retention performance of green roofs.
