This opinion paper reflects on the current challenges facing urban drainage systems (UDS) research, along with solutions for fostering sustainable development. Over course of a year-long project involving 92 participants aged 24-38, including PhD candidates, post-doctoral researchers, and early-career academics, we identified critical opportunities development UDS. Our exploration highlights four key challenges: limited public visibility leading to resource constraints, insufficient...
The hydrological response of sloping catchments is strongly conditioned by the connectivity subsurface preferential flows. objective this paper to investigate role played stemflow infiltration in water flow dynamics, focusing on a forested hillslope located an Aleppo pine Mediterranean forest (Pinus halepensis, Mill.) at Sierra Calderona, Valencia province, Spain. We combined artificial experiments with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) as non-invasive technique stemflow-induced paths activated...
Time-lapse ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, combined with automated infiltration experiments, provide a non-invasive approach for investigating the distribution of infiltrated water within soil medium and creating three-dimensional images wetting bulb. This study developed validated an experimental protocol aimed at quantifying visualizing fluxes in layered soils under both unsaturated saturated conditions. The 3D bulb significantly enhanced interpretation data, enabling detailed...
Incident gross precipitation is divided by tree canopies into three main parts: i) intercepted rainfall, which evaporates directly from the canopies, ii) throughfall, reaches soil surface after passing through and iii) stemflow, concentrated to stems. Stemflow tends infiltrate preferentially around base of stem, once belowground, channeled roots.The objective this research was investigate contribution stemflow throughflow subsurface water dynamics in a hillslope forested with beech trees....
Nature-based systems are being employed to allow stormwater infiltrate directly in the soil, which is supposed capture pollutants. To better track evolution of such performances, particular infiltration and filtration be able optimize their management, these need known. Currently, there a lack knowledge methods regarding characterization macropores matrix contributions urban soils, whereas quality groundwater capacities at stake. To tackle limits, large infiltrometer 50 cm diameter...
Climate and global changes will force cities to adapt new drastic meteorological hydrological conditions. Within this context, urban planning has pointed the need restore natural water cycle in cities. Restoring means promoting infiltration areas facilitate groundwater recharge minimize runoff at soil surface. Several techniques were developed with goal, including those aimed infiltrating specific drainage works like sustainable systems (SUDS). However, management of SUDS requires monitoring...

<p>Stormwater management zones must enable water to infiltrate easily, primarily due macropores, but little is known about the transport of pollutants through these macropores. Some coupled methods using, for example, dyes, disc, or ring infiltrometers were developed give insight on respective contributions macropores versus matrix bulk infiltration. However, do not visualize where and how infiltrates. Besides, no information given solute transfer in soils, whereas this issue...
<p>Infiltration basins are among the most spread techniques for managing stormwater. Infiltration allow infiltration of stormwater, which prevents their piping towards treatment systems. However, stormwater contains loads pollutants and suspended solids that accumulate at surface basin form a sedimentary layer. That lay may clog partially, thus reducing its bulk capability. Fortunately, plants fauna colonize spontaneously this layer, preventing complete clogging restoring...
