Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2779: Metal Distribution and Sediment Quality Variation across Sediment Depths of a Subtropical Ramsar Declared Wetland
Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2779: Metal Distribution and Sediment Quality Variation across Sediment Depths of a Subtropical Ramsar Declared Wetland Water doi: 10.3390/w12102779 Authors: Tatenda Dalu Rolindela Tshivhase Ross N. Cuthbert Florence M. Murungweni Ryan J. Wasserman The study of wetlands is particularly important as these systems act as natural water purifiers and thus can act as sinks for contaminated particles. Wetland sediments are important as they provide an indication...

Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2778: A Simplified Representation of Pressure Flow from Surface Slopes in Urban Sewer Systems
Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2778: A Simplified Representation of Pressure Flow from Surface Slopes in Urban Sewer Systems Water doi: 10.3390/w12102778 Authors: Huabing Huang Yu Pan Xianwei Wang A Constant Pipe Drainage (CPD) capacity for sewer systems is commonly applied when undertaking flood risk assessment, however data that are needed for calibration and validation of numerical models are scarce or unavailable. The CPD model neglects the effect of pressure flow and leads to significant...

Water, Vol. 12, Pages 2777: Runoff Losses on Urban Surfaces during Frequent Rainfall Events: A Review of Observations and Modeling Attempts Water doi: 10.3390/w12102777 Authors: Mohamad Rammal Emmanuel Berthier Quantifying urban runoff during frequent rainfall events is a key element in quality management of urban water due to their high contribution to the annual runoff flow. This explains the growing interest among hydrologists in studying runoff flow on urban surfaces. In this...
