“…Among other things, the study presents a range of measures proposed to avoid, or at least, to minimize stormwater related impacts while reducing water demands and potential pollution of receiving waters. Similar SWM concern, is widely reported in literature (Burns et al, 2012;Shishegar et al, 2018;Vasconcelos et al, 2022). In effort to address these challenges, many scholars (Keeley et al, 2013;Kvamsås, 2021;Walsh et al, 2016) recommend the adoption and application of combined strategies derived from both structural and non-structural stormwater best management practices (BMPs).…”

Over the past two decades there has been a growing worldwide concern about the ability of urban infrastructure systems to withstand the increasing impacts of urban population and climate change. Akin to similar concerns, the objective of this paper was to evaluate stormwater quantity and quality management options in rapidly urbanizing watershed of Mbezi River catchment in Dar es Salaam-Tanzania using field investigations, public meetings and GIS techniques. Analysis results of capacity quantification of the proposed stormwater management components indicate that stormwater harvesting alone can disconnect up to 12% of stormwater runoff stream generated in the study catchment. In addition to other components, the proposed landscape-based stormwater management system puts more emphasis on rainwater harvesting, stormwater retention and detention elements to decelerate runoff speed and enhance more residence time for the runoff not only to infiltrate, but also to evapotranspire, while improving the scenery and aesthetic quality of the environment altogether.

“…Urban development is directly associated with increase in impervious areas. Given the growing population concentration in urban areas particularly in developing countries, it is essential to plan and control expansions to minimize their adverse impacts on hydrological cycle components (Vasconcelos et al, 2022). The first and foremost condition of success is good governance, meaning that processes are inclusive, accountable, and place-based.…”

Spatial policies can be thought of as the interrelationships between functions identities, and physical perspectives. Many experts argue that public-private participation is the key to the success of good governance in the political management of space. The present work aims at examining the effective indicators in the political management of the metropolitan area of Tehran using the fuzzy dimethyl technique, which is descriptive in terms of practical purpose and data collection, being based on the causal method. The sample size was composed of70 university professors and senior managers of political space management, leading to the identification of23factors as well. It was found that regional and spatial relations had the greatest impact on the political management of space ; the existing laws that cause the inefficiency of the political management of space had in contrast the least impact.

“…The analysis of the problems related to the implementation of such projects has shown that they occur in the form of legal regulations and institutional barriers, including: Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, China, New Zealand, and Germany. No incentives, absence of appropriate legislation and problems regarding the qualification of the project are considered the main problems with legal provisions in Brazil [VASCONCELOS et al 2022]. The US highlights the existence of legal constraints at every level -from national through the state regulations to local (urban) ones [DHAKAL, CHEVALIER 2017].…”

At present, stormwater management is one of the key issues in urban policy. This is due to the increasing urbanisation, climate change, the growing threat of extreme (weather) events and the need to protect water resources. Legislation plays an essential role in the process of project planning and implementation. The recognition of opportunities and barriers contained in these regulations forms the basis for action by the central government, local authorities and investors. The article aims to analyse legal provisions, administrative decisions and factual circumstances that provide the foundation of administrative court rulings in Poland and regard the legal possibilities of rainwater management in urban areas. The adopted research method allows for/includes the author's interpretation and formulation of de lege ferenda conclusions. The results of analyses of both European and national legislation and case law indicate that there is a problem with the interpretation of existing legislation and the lack of legal definitions of basic equipment and solutions in the field of water law, for instance. Such legal circumstances make it difficult to make the required legal decisions, and have a negative impact on the timing of implementation and number of these muchneeded projects.
