Vertical greenery systems (VGS) are promoted as a nature-based solution to mitigate the urban heat island effect. In order ensure long-term provision of this function, sufficiently available irrigation water is key element. Currently, potable one main resources for VGS. While rainwater often mentioned an alternative, only few studies investigate actual application irrigation. study conceptual model developed present processes and influencing factors holistic investigation use model, five sub-modules identified: atmospheric, hydraulic, quality, harvesting VGS sub-module. The depicts which involved in demand Thus, supports understanding interrelations between identified their relevance with harvested rainwater. results support implementation sustainable resource

Water scarcity due to increasing population, climate change, and natural resource depletion has led exploring alternate sources of useable water through the treatment reuse wastewater. Additionally, complexity logistics costs transport are driving development demonstration decentralized wastewater units. Graywater, or that does not include from toilets, is a particularly promising source for lower contaminant loading when compared other streams. In this study, ultrafiltration (UF) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane technologies with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection was evaluated low strength graywater shower facilities over six-month period. With >100,000-gallons separated treated, one largest most comprehensive events date. guidelines were established reflect stringent requirements in United States. The combined train UF RO met compliance metrics all analytes interest. This UF/RO system only addresses issues quality, but quantity as well. A recovery rate 85 % multiplies effective volume usable by factor 6.5, creating significant reduction required. Both quality treated gains multiplier effect make viable technology address physical economical scarcity. can be used austere environments capture currently untapped reuse.

Sensing and measurement techniques are necessary to study, evaluate, understand the complex physical chemical interactions that must occur for successful deployment of nature-based solutions (NbS). How NbS measured can determine which best address local environmental societal challenges, how these prioritized adopted by decision makers. provide useful meteorological physiological data on interventions between different spatial, spectral, temporal, thematic scales. Because encompass research from across fields, it is essential reduce barriers knowledge dissemination, enable circulation information jurisdictions. In this a bibliometric systematic analysis literature was undertaken systemize categorize sensing NbS. Opportunities challenges associated with studying effects have also been identified. evidence-based efficacy NbS, in addition guiding policy formulation achievement sustainable development communities.

Rainwater and sewage are important pollution sources for surface water bodies. Vertical greening systems (VGSs) extensively employed these wastewater treatments due to the green sustainable characteristics, as well their high-efficiency in pollutant (organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus) removal. At present, more VGSs designed with buildings, serving city ecosystems. This study provides an overview of different kinds rain treatment, emphasizing types, design, mechanisms, selection plants, growth substrate. Plants play a crucial role removal, plants usually obtain efficiencies treatment. Climbing ornamental fast rates priority selections VGSs, including Canna lilies, Jasmine, Grape vine, Boston ivy, Pittosporum tobira, Pelargonium australe, Mentha aquatica, Lythrum salicaria. The substrate is most critical part VGS, which plays regulating flow, supporting plant growth, promoting biofilm filtering pollutants, adsorbing nutrients. single either has blockage problem or short holding time. Therefore, number studies have mixed substrates integrated advantages form complementary effect, thereby improving overall purification efficiency stability. Novel (sand, spent coffee grounds, date seeds, grinds, reed-based, etc.) coco coir, light-weight expanded clay, growstone, perlite at certain ratio optimum treatment performance. Moreover, clay show significant health statuses than zeolite soil. Operating parameters also influences on review theoretical technical support designing sustainable, environmentally friendly, cost-effective treating rainwater sewage.

Abstract Only less than 1% of the Earth’s water is fit for human activities. Domestic consumption accounts roughly 20% all uses water, adding pressure to increasing scarcity stress. Water intakes residential buildings everyday are constituted by a high-quality resource, which either costly produce or conspicuous in amounts withdraw from natural sources. The present proposal aims test feasibility application decentralized greywater treatment strategies, based on use vertical greenery systems integrated into assess both optimal scale settlements and comparative analysis reclaimed resource savings. aim promote circular resources allowing fit-for-purpose employment, thus reducing overall intake due sector. methodology hereby proposed has been developed using as case study most widespread typologies Southern Italian context, such single detachment, row houses, low medium-rise apartment buildings. result proposition each typology retrofitting strategy that employs integration green infrastructure inside spaces. Until now, Mediterranean context characterized limited strategies directed towards efficient employment resources, since mild climatic conditions have always provided an adequate amount freshwater. Therefore, studies carried out those landscapes. However, rapid shift precipitation patterns climate change defined need quickly embrace new systems, technical solutions improving efficiency promoting reuse.
