Abstract: Assessing how well public policies support and advance sustainable planning and practice is an area of increasing interest, particularly with respect to resources management. The relationship between energy and water ...

Abstract: Green infrastructure offers an alternative multibenefit method of runoff reduction in urban areas, using natural processes to infiltrate, store, and treat runoff near its source. However, green infrastructure performance ...

Abstract: Urban water governance is a framework for addressing critical issues in cities’ water resources by creating a more inclusive policy for sustainable transitions. Beyond the physical or direct water resources available to ...

Abstract: Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is defined by the integration of natural processes into the built environment to provide important ecosystem services. While GSI has multiple benefits, its hydrologic performance can ...

Abstract: Demand forecasting for water resources is an essential planning element for cities to provide secure and sustainable water supplies. A common way of determining water demands is to identify indicators at the household level ...

Abstract: Although reclaimed water—municipal wastewater treatment plant effluent—can serve as a locally sustainable alternative water resource, this additional consumptive use of reclaimed water may cause impacts downstream. This ...

Abstract: Green infrastructure has been widely studied as a means of runoff reduction in urban areas, but the performance of such infrastructure installations is dependent on local environmental conditions. Rain gardens in particular ...

Abstract: Saving water saves energy. Consequently, implementing integrated water management (IWM) measures that reduce potable water consumption, stormwater runoff, and wastewater generation can potentially translate into significant ...
