TL;DR: A novel economic instrument (a uniform price auction) is developed and tested for encouraging allotment-scale stormwater retention and evaluated bids using an integrated environmental benefit index (EBI), based on the ability of the proposed works to reduce runoff frequency, pollutant loads and to reduce potable water demand.

TL;DR: Using empirically-derived plant physiological parameters, a water balance model is used to assess the trade-off between rainfall retention and plant drought stress under a 30-year climate scenario and it is more likely that green roofs will achieve high rainfall retention with minimal supplementary irrigation if planted with low water users with drought avoidance strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the interaction between saturated and unsaturated zones in soils with shallow water tables might represent a possible mechanism leading to soil moisture bimodality.

TL;DR: A mathematical model of the transport of sediment through stormwater gravel filters over their lifespan is developed, and the main variables that impact the sediment process in dirty filters were quantified, and modifications to the Yao model were proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, a feasibility study was conducted to examine options to reduce the area of impervious surfaces that are directly connected to waterways by efficient drainage systems, such as rainwater tanks where the captured water is used to replace a portion of the mains water supply, permeable pavements that reduce runoff from roads, and swale drains and bioretention systems along roads, rather than piped drainage direct to streams.
