... For mean particles (1-10 µm), all forces and mechanisms can make a contribution to the deposition of particles [9]. Given the diverse range of particle sizes in stormwater, which varies depending on the type of catchment, level of pre-treatment etc. [10], it is necessary to understand the clogging process in order to ultimately improve the filtration performance of a porous medium. ...

... In many cases, a sequence (often called a treatment train) of measures may be used. For example, linear infiltration or biofiltration systems may be placed within the urban streetscape that may pass on water to a sedimentation basin and CW, before discharging to an ornamental pond (Lloyd et al., 2001). Heightened concern during the 1980s about the deleterious effects of urbanization on watersheds of densely populated Mid-Atlantic States in the United States has resulted in adopting a variety of stormwater management regulations intended to mitigate the damage by these states. ...

... " [35] (p. 1). Wong et al. [36] highlight persisting drainage challenges at different types of roads, causing loss of natural habitats, chemical pollution, persistent waterlogging, and alteration of the hydrology and geomorphology of water bodies due to the construction and operation of road infrastructure in cities of the Global North. Austerity measures make financially poor municipalities ineffective in maintaining the existing infrastructure. ...

... However, some studies have shown how maintenance requirements for NBS decrease over time Houle et al. 2013;Lloyd et al. 2002). While initial maintenance requirements can be higher during what is called the "establishment period"time for vegetation to grow to optimal levels, with more frequent inspections and routine gardening actions, generally lasting one to three yearsover time, those maintenance needs decrease . ...

[55][56][57][58] ; ► Water supply security: rainwater tanks and collection, connection to municipal water supply, water supply disinfection and protection of existing shallow well water supplies. ► Access roads, utility corridors, raised pathways; ► Flood management: including backflow prevention, minor localised spot-filling, minor terrain modification and flood protection walls. ...

Study design, rationale and methods of the Revitalising Informal Settlements and their Environments (RISE) study: a cluster randomised controlled trial to evaluate environmental and human health impacts of a water-sensitive intervention in informal settlements in Indonesia and Fiji

... A comparison of the drainage systems of the past and the present had been done, which undoubtedly points to the fact that proper design and planning of drainage systems is inevitable for a healthy environment, especially in cities [1]. In Australia, Water-Sensitive-Urban-Design (WSUD) was used as an approach to sustainable urban water resource management in order to minimize the influence of urban expansion on the complex irreparable natural water cycle of a region [2]. The adoption of best planning practices (BPP) is essential to the application of WSUD. ...
