TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a literature review on different types of impermeable surface and their relative impacts on landscape hydrology, and describe the manner in which these surfaces are assessed for their putative impacts.

TL;DR: Comparing experiences from Australia and the United States, two developed countries with existing conventional stormwater infrastructure and escalating stream ecosystem degradation, are highlighted to highlight challenges facing sustainable urban stormwater management and offer several examples of successful, regional WSUD implementation.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of experiments that confront subjects with low probability, high loss situations is presented and a rich parameter set is examined and they find subjects respond to low-probability, high-loss risks in predictable ways.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an interdisciplinary view of the stormwater runoff issue, and synthesized several stormwater management scenarios that include stormwater user fees, stormwater run-off charges, allowance markets, and voluntary offset programs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the thesis that a well-designed, tradable runoff allowance system can create economic incentives for landowners to employ low-cost runoff management practices to reduce excess stormwater flow to more ecologically sound levels.
