Download or read book Enhancing Urban Environment by Environmental Upgrading and Restoration written by Daniel Sztruhar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As urban areas keep growing, water infrastructure ages, and the requirements on environmental protection become more rigorous, there is a continual need for upgrading water pollution control facilities and restoring degraded urban waters. Such issues are addressed in this book by focusing on five major topics: (a) Upgrading stormwater management facilities, (b) Retrofitting / upgrading combined sewer overflow (CSO) facilities, (c) Optimising/upgrading sewage treatment plant performance, (d) Urban stream restoration, and (e) Challenges in restoring urban environment. Each chapter contains some overview papers followed by research or case study papers. Besides presentations of new approaches and accomplishments in the field of upgrading and restoration, several papers provide analysis of vast needs in this field in several countries of Central and Eastern Europe, which either recently joined the European Union (EU) or are preparing for accession, and need to comply with the existing EU directives dealing with environmental protection. As such, this book will be of primary interest to researchers and university lecturers dealing with environmental upgrading and restoration, environmental planners from all levels of government, municipal engineers and politicians, and finally the private industry representatives (consultants, private utilities and environmental technology suppliers) searching for new business opportunities among the new or aspiring members of EU.

Download or read book Diffuse Pollution 98 written by Vladimir Novotny and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1999-05-31 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diffuse Pollution of surface, coastal and ground waters is a major environmental and economic problem in the world today. Unlike point source pollution, which has to some extent been controlled by developments in technology and regulation, diffuse pollution is difficult to control, requiring the application of technological and socio-economical approaches and of education. The 46 papers in these proceedings have been selected from those presented at the 3rd International Conference on Diffuse Pollution, which addressed urban and rural diffuse pollution problems and solutions as experienced in several countries. The papers are divided into five themes: Identification of sources and loads Best Management Practices Receiving water impacts Modelling diffuse pollution Watershed management. The proceedings conclude with two papers, prepared by prominent specialists, that summarise the key findings at the conference. These proceedings will prove an essential resource for all concerned, whether as researchers, regulators or practioners, with diffuse pollution and its control.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report comprises the interim report of the Panel examining the proposal to construct 3 new runways at Lester B. Pearson International Airport (LBPIA) at Toronto. The report describes the review process, the historical development of LBPIA, and the setting. The proposal looks at demand, runway capacity, potential solutions, proposed new runways, airport operations, noise, ecological and historical resources and the cost-benefit analysis. The various stakeholder positions are described next. The Panel's analysis covers background, the base case, possible improvements to the base case, directional imbalance and north-south capacity, east-west capacity, noise impacts, noise and health, social issues, ecological and historical resources, economic considerations, the spoke communities, policy turbulence, general aviation, and impact management. Conclusions and recommendations follow and appendices giving terms of reference, biographies for panel members and technical specialists, supplementary information, public hearings participants, and panel documents conclude the document.
Download or read book Urbanization under a Changing Climate written by Jianxun He and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the increasing urbanization, advances in the science of urban hydrology have improved urban water system management, creating more livable cities in which public safety and health, as well as the environment, are protected. The ultimate goal of urban water management is to mimic the hydrological cycle prior to urbanization. On top of urbanization, climate change, which has been demonstrated to alter the hydrological cycle in all respects, has introduced additional challenges to managing urban water systems. To mitigate and adapt to urbanization under a changing climate, understanding key hydrologic components should expand to include complex issues brought forth by climate change. Thus, effective and efficient measures can be formulated. This Special Issue of Water presents a variety of research papers that span a range of spatial and temporal scales of relevance in different societies’ efforts in adapting to the eminent changes in climate and the continuous changes in the landscape. From mitigating water quality in permeable pavements and bioretention swales to understanding changes in groundwater recharge in large regions, this Special Issue examines the state-of-the-art in sustainable urban design for adaptation and resiliency.
Download or read book Lake Ontario Greenway Strategy written by Ontario. Waterfront Regeneration Trust and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of the Lake Ontario Greenway Strategy is to foster commitment to actions that will regenerate a healthy and sustainable Lake Ontario waterfront that is clean, green, accessible, diverse, attractive, affordable, open, usable, and connected. The Greenway encompasses the lands and waters having a direct ecological, cultural, or economic connection to the waterfront from Burlington Bay to the Trent River. The backbone of the Greenway is a proposed Waterfront Trail. This report describes the current state of the waterfront, highlights work accomplished on achieving the objectives of the Strategy, and outlines a work program for the future. An appendix describes the landscape character, patterns of change and associated issues, regeneration goals, and short-term opportunities and actions for the 14 landscape units along the Greenway route.
Download or read book Landscape as Infrastructure written by Pierre Belanger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As ecology becomes the new engineering, the projection of landscape as infrastructure—the contemporary alignment of the disciplines of landscape architecture, civil engineering, and urban planning— has become pressing. Predominant challenges facing urban regions and territories today—including shifting climates, material flows, and population mobilities, are addressed and strategized here. Responding to the under-performance of master planning and over-exertion of technological systems at the end of twentieth century, this book argues for the strategic design of "infrastructural ecologies," describing a synthetic landscape of living, biophysical systems that operate as urban infrastructures to shape and direct the future of urban economies and cultures into the 21st century. Pierre Bélanger is Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture and Co-Director of the Master in Design Studies Program at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. As part of the Department of Landscape Architecture and the Advansed Studies Program, Bélanger teaches and coordinates graduate courses on the convergence of ecology, infrastructure and urbanism in the interrelated fields of design, planning and engineering. Dr. Bélanger is author of the 35th edition of the Pamphlet Architecture Series from Princeton Architectural Press, GOING LIVE: from States to Systems (pa35.net), co-editor with Jennifer Sigler of the 39th issue of Harvard Design Magazine, Wet Matter, and co-author of the forthcoming volume ECOLOGIES OF POWER: Mapping Military Geographies & Logistical Landscapes of the U.S. Department of Defense. As a landscape architect and urbanist, he is the recipient of the 2008 Canada Prix de Rome in Architecture and the Curator for the Canada Pavilion ad Canadian Exhibition, "EXTRACTION," at the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale (extraction.ca).
