“…Stormwater harvesting has emerged as a viable alternative source of water, which may be used in different sectors after suitable treatment or filtration [61,62]. Because stormwater was considered a waste, quick disposal of runoff was the focus for most of the 100 years prior to the 1960s [63]. Subsequently, the source control principle or "water-sensitive urban design" was initiated in Australia and other parts of the world, with a focus on stormwater quality improvement devices, low-impact urban development and design, integrated urban water management, sustainable urban drainage systems, best management practices, and stormwater management and reuse [63].…”

Water recycling is a potential tool for reducing the dependency on traditional water sources, which would eventually reduce the likelihood of volumetric restrictions and their impacts on the water sector. Therefore, exploration, development, and use of alternative water sources are required for sustainable development. Scientific studies on the efficient and economical use of nontraditional water sources developed using the recycling process have attracted the attention of agriculturists, planners, and engineers for the last two decades. Recycled wastewater types, including greywater, sewage, stormwater, and industrial wastewater, have been discussed in this study. This article reviewed various forms of recycled wastewater, especially wastewater from treated sewage, and their effects on human health and irrigated environment. In addition, the necessity of exploration and usage of alternative sources of water in agriculture over traditional sources has also been reviewed. Legislations and guidelines of three major countries regarding the water recycling process and subsequent use have also been presented. The key finding of this article is that the agriculture and water recycling industry can only be connected sustainably when recycled wastewater complies with agronomical, environmental, and sanitary requirements. Because of the rapid advancements in wastewater recycling technologies, water recycling and recycled water usage have great potential to manage the increasing burden on freshwater resources. Finally, the sustainable use of recycled wastewater is crucial to minimize the negative effects on agriculture, the environment, and human health.

Urban water systems face severe challenges such as urbanisation, population growth and climate change. Traditional technical solutions, i.e., pipe-based, grey infrastructure, have a single purpose and are proven to be unsustainable compared to multi-purpose nature-based solutions. Green Infrastructure encompasses on-site stormwater management practices, which, in contrast to the centralised grey infrastructure, are often decentralised. Technologies such as green roofs, walls, trees, infiltration trenches, wetlands, rainwater harvesting and permeable pavements exhibit multi-functionality. They are capable of reducing stormwater runoff, retaining stormwater in the landscape, preserving the natural water balance, enhancing local climate resilience and also delivering ecological, social and community services. Creating multi-functional, multiple-benefit systems, however, also warrants multidisciplinary approaches involving landscape architects, urban planners, engineers and more to successfully create a balance between cities and nature. This Special Issue aims to bridge this multidisciplinary research gap by collecting recent challenges and opportunities from on-site systems up to the watershed scale.

This paper studies the drainage system performance of a conventional system with concrete channels and a retention pond. Also, the analysis of runoff reduction by implementing a nature-based solutions (NBSs) technique of rainwater harvesting and recharge well. The case study site is located in an industrial area in West Karawang City, West Java. The analysis was carried out by simulating the flood event using rainfall data from the site for a 10-year return period. The flood simulation was performed using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). The model consists of the analysis of flooding events in the drainage system and retention pond and the analysis of flooding prevention scenarios. The result reveals that the cause of the flooding is an extreme rainfall event which leads to the large accumulation of water at one junction point. Moreover, although the capacity of the retention pond is sufficient, the discharge rate is way larger than the infiltration rate, so the overflow occurred and resulted in flooding. The scenario of widening the drainage channel and installing a pump in the retention pond provides a good solution scenario to prevent flooding. The implementation of rainwater harvesting and recharge well could reduce the surface runoff volume of 21%. Further study should be conducted to analyze the combination of conventional and NBSs drainage system performance under the highest daily rainfall of the series.
