“…In the section closing the catchment for the analyzed design precipitation of 19.38 mm (with p = 20% and duration of 15 min), an increase in flow of 2.62% was estimated, but in selected areas it may cause a larger increase in runoff, e.g., analyzed outlet 2 may increase by 16.22%. Similar analyses were performed by, among others, Ociepa and Suligowski for the urbanized catchment area in Kielce, Poland [11,100], Sjöman and Gill for a catchment area in Sweden [67], and Li et al for the city of Shenyang in China [66]. However, the results are difficult to compare due to the individual nature of each location (land use and land cover, soils, climate, etc.…”

“…Additionally, the variability of these processes results from the variability and intensity of precipitation during the year, which determine the load remaining after rainfall and the variability in the occurrence and length of precipitation-free periods [9,10]. Similar relationships also apply to the quality of surface water, which deteriorates in particular during floods (pluvial and fluvial floods) as a result of increased inflow of pollutants from drainage systems and polluted surface runoff, and also as a result of erosion processes [11,12].…”

Changes in the land use of urban catchments and the discharge of stormwater to rivers are causing surface water pollution. Measurements were taken of the quality of discharged stormwater from two areas with different types of development: a residential area and a residential–commercial area, as well as the quality of the Sudół River water below the sewer outlets. The following indicators were studied: TSS, COD, N–NO3, N–NO2, TKN, TN, TP, Zn, Cu, Hg, HOI, and PAHs. The influence of land use on the magnitudes of flows in the river was modeled using the SCS–CN method and the Snyder Unit Hydrograph Model. The results showed an increase in sealing and a resulting increase in surface runoff. Concentrations of pollutants in stormwater and analysis of the potential amounts of loadings contributed by the analyzed stormwater outlets indicate that they may be responsible for the failure to meet environmental targets in the Sudół River. Environmental risk assessment shows that the aquatic ecosystem is at risk. A risk factor indicating a high risk of adverse environmental effects was determined for N–NO3, Zn, and Cu, among others.

“…Total sediment transport from urban areas may vary depending on the state of the land development. In catchments under an urbanization processes (construction phase), the sediment yield is likely to increase in watersheds (Ciupa et al, 2021;Franz et al, 2014;Gellis et al, 2017;Russell et al, 2017Russell et al, , 2018 and decrease when a new land management is established. Some researchers (Kemper et al, 2019;Nelson & Booth, 2002) have indicated that urbanization can increase channel erosion processes due to an increased magnitude and frequency of flood flows.…”

Small urban areas, due to their specificity (high anthroposphere, multiple forms of land use, variable drainage conditions), are often overlooked in studies on soil erosion and sediment transport that predominantly focus on a large scale. The sediment yield from such small urban areas may greatly vary depending, for example, on the state of the land development. Therefore, its proper estimation is crucial for water resources management, improving urban runoff quality or designing and maintaining local retention ponds. In this study, two different approaches were applied to estimate sediment yield from a small urban catchment of Służew Creek, located in Warsaw, Poland. While the first was based on direct hydrological measurements and field samples, the second (indirect) used various empirical formulas to predict bed load transport (local formula of Skibiński) in the stream channel and the suspended sediment delivery from the catchment (USLE equation, Build‐up/Wash‐off model). The sediment load established according to the direct approach equals 714 Mg/year, of which 83 Mg/year results from the bed load transport and 631 Mg/year comes from the suspended sediment transport. The total sediment load calculated according to the indirect approach equals 579 Mg/year. The relative difference in loads calculated with these two methods is about 20%. This paper combines various established methods into a novel composite analysis of sediment yield. The methodology presented in this study may support the estimation of sediment load in small urban catchments with a heterogenous land use structure. Hence, it may support urban planning and water resources management in such small catchments.

“…In summary, the contamination of rivers with TSS is due to two main reasons. The first is related to natural processes caused by erosion and geographical activity, as presented by Gallart et al (2013);C anovas, Olias, Sarmiento, Nieto, and Galv an (2012) in Spain, Cienciala, Melendez Bernardo, Nelson, and Haas (2021) in the North Atlantic basins, Ciupa, Suligowski, and Wałek (2020) in Poland and Menounos, Schiefer, and Slaymaker (2006) in Canada. These natural processes are frequent in rainy areas, in mountain basins and in areas where thawing occurs, as shown in Beylich, Laute, and Storms (2017), this last case is essential because it appears in the summer season, when snow or ice melts, causing flooding in almost the entire basin, increasing TSS levels.…”

The watersheds of the Quindío River in Colombia South America have high levels of contamination by total suspended solids (TSS). The objective of this work was to represent the entire hydrographic network of the watersheds of the Quindío department by means of a graph and, using network theory, analyze the different centrality measures to identify areas most prone to TSS contamination. Similarly, partial differential equations were used to simulate the transport of TSS pollutants between specific points of the basin. For this purpose, a network of 409 nodes and 408 edges was created based on topographic maps and reports from the corporations in charge of preserving these watersheds. With information on contamination zones, the network, and partial differential equations, TSS transport was calculated throughout the hydrological network, identifying eight critical zones with high levels of this parameter. Some of these zones are on major rivers, such as the Quindío River near the city of Armenia; the Roble, Espejo, and San Juan rivers also have considerable levels.
