11. Metal pathways in stormwater treatment systems
Sammanfattning : Heavy metals in urban stormwater runoff affect the ecological status of receiving surface waters. To avoid this, various stormwater treatment systems have been developed and implemented during the last 50 years. One of themost common and continuously popular systems is wet stormwater ponds.

12. Data-driven approaches for proactive maintenance planning of sewer blockage management
Sammanfattning : Blockages have been reported to account for a significant proportion of reported failures in sewer networks. The malfunctioning of the sewer network from blockages and the subsequent disruption to other public services and flooding may constitute a risk to the environment and human health. LÄS MER
13. Rethinking Urban Nature : Maintaining Capacity for Ecosystem Service Generation in a Human Dominated World
Sammanfattning : Human action has transformed the major part of the Earth’s ecosystems. A growing human population puts further pressure on dynamic landscapes and resources. Crucially, for the first time in history, most people live in cities and environmental change has become truly global. LÄS MER
14. Sustainable Urban and Regional Development and Related Ecosystem Services and Water-Climate Interactions
Sammanfattning : To accommodate a growing global population while mitigating climate change, urban areas must grow while minimising environmental impacts. To achieve this, a city must be treated as a complex socio-ecological system in which many actors and subsystems act in unclear and unpredictable ways. LÄS MER
15. The role of indicators in developing sustainable urban water systems
Sammanfattning : Conventional urban water systems function well, in the sense that they protect receiving waters from eutrophication and supply the people they serve with water and sanitation. However, the rate at which these systems consume energy and resources in order to supply these services is increasingly regarded as unsustainable, while their capacity to recycle nutrients and handle toxic compounds is seen as limited and inadequate.
