Concentrations of seven heavy metals (HMs): Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Ni, Cr, and Fe in core samples
of bottom sediments from four retention tanks (RTs) located along the Strzyza Stream in …

Understanding small-scale hydrologic processes and the impact of soil conservation
techniques are crucial in reducing runoff and sediment losses in semi-arid regions. This …

This study reports the concentrations of trace metals in core sediments profile from the
coastal and four rivers estuary in the Kuching Division of Sarawak, Malaysia, and the …

Urbanization affects runoff processes and sediment transport, but the magnitude of the
impacts remains poorly understood. Different spatial patterns of pervious and impervious …

Local surface-depressed areas in an urban microrelief are geochemical traps for sediments
deposited at the surface. These sediments accumulate pollutants over space and time. The …

Liquid-phase nonpoint source pollution dispersion and removal on sustainable urban
drainage systems (SUDS) is an important issue for urban pollution mitigation which remains …

The aim of this study is to provide a tool to assess sediment production in an urban area.
The urban environment is affected by a variety of anthropogenic and natural factors that, in …

For decades, scientists and others have expressed deep concern about the changes
measured in the Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere …
