Communities are coping with changes in runoff quantity and quality, stemming mainly from
changes in climate and land use/land cover (LULC); there is a need to identify the most …

Estimating pollutant loads from developed watersheds is vitally important to reduce nonpoint
source pollution from urban areas, as a key tool in meeting water quality goals is the …

Understanding the impact of rainfall characteristics on urban stormwater quality is important
for stormwater management. Even though significant attempts have been undertaken to …

Road pavements are exposed to traffic loading and external deterioration agents which both
can compromise tire-pavement interactions, posing a threat to road safety. The surface wear …

A major challenge for runoff pollution control lies in the quantification and identification of the
first-flush. At present, there is a lack of reasonable theoretical methods to guide engineering …

This paper presents results of an analysis of potentially harmful elements (PHEs, Pb, Zn and
Cu) and conservative element (CE, Fe) concentrations in urban surface deposited sediment …

Urbanization increases runoff, sediment, and nutrient loadings downstream, causing
flooding, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms. Stormwater control measures (SCMs) …

Abstract Road-Deposited Sediments (RDS) modeling of wash-off is essential for dealing
with the total suspended solids (TSS) contributed by RDS. The exponential wash-off …

Background: Sediment deposition in the urban environment affects aesthetic, economic, and
other aspects of city life, and through re-suspension of dust, may pose serious risks to …

Physically-based urban wash-off models are a promising means of studying the transport of
finer suspended solids and their associated pollutants during rain events, considering …
