Microplastic pollution of stormwater can be a serious threat to the environment. Gross pollutant trap (GPT) - bioretention treatment trains have been shown previously to treat (inter alia) particulate stormwater pollutants including microplastic part...

Urbanization activity and climate change increase the runoff volumes, and consequently the surcharge of the urban drainage systems (UDS). In addition, age and structural failures of these utilities limit their capacities, and thus generate hydraulic ...
In mountainous regions, rainfall can be extremely variable in space and time. The need to simulate rainfall time series at different scales on one hand and the lack of recording such parameters in small scales because of administrative and economic p...
Cholera epidemic remains a public threat throughout history, affecting vulnerable population living with unreliable water and substandard sanitary conditions. Various studies have observed that the occurrence of cholera has strong linkage with enviro...
The complexity and uncertainties affecting drinking water supply systems and threatening hazards require a comprehensive and effective risk assessment to increase the reliability of drinking water safety, especially for small or household systems. Th...
Nowcasting of precipitation is a difficult spatiotemporal task because of the non-uniform characterization of meteorological structures over time. Recently, convolutional LSTM has been shown to be successful in solving various complex spatiotemporal ...
We have developed autonomously moving pine-cone robots, which are made of multiple joined pine-cone scales for outdoor natural environments. We achieved these natural robots by using pine cones as both natural hygromorphic actuators and components of...
To address the problems of high overflow rate of pipe network inspection well and low drainage efficiency, a rainwater control optimization design approach based on a self-organizing feature map neural network model (SOFM) was proposed in this paper....

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasitic protozoans of the Plasmodium family. These parasites are transmitted by mosquitos which are common in certain parts of the world. Based on their specific climates, these regions have been classifie...
Recently, advanced informatics and sensing techniques show promise of enabling a new generation of smart stormwater systems, where real-time sensors are deployed to detect flooding hotspots. Existing stormwater design criteria assume that historical ...
