Bioretention cells (also referred to as raingardens or biofilters) are constructed as shallow vegetated depressions and are generally considered a flexible practice for local stormwater management. Runoff is retained at the cell surface before it percolates to the ground or is conveyed to the stormwater system. Flood risk is reduced via retention and volume reduction […]

One technique for collecting rainwater and prevent soil erosion applied on large areas in Tunisia involves the use of soil ridges (1-1.5 m high). These contour ridges are constructed parallel to topographical isolines. The effects of the contour ridges on the soil water content distribution, bulk soil salinity ECa, and soil water salinity (ECw) were […]

The current status of storm-water management in the neighbor cities of Copenhagen and Malmö was studied with respect to present measures and the implemented systems in both cities. Application of blue-green solutions in the outer parts of Malmö started in the 1990s; hence collaboration between different departments in the municipality is more structured in the […]

The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon in Vietnam has two inlets and outside one of them, the Thuan An inlet, a groin was constructed in 2008 to reduce sediment transport and prevent the inlet from closing. This groin has caused erosion and accretion of sediment on the adjacent coastline. The objectives of this study were to […]
