Sustainable drainage Drainage systems can contribute to sustainable development and improve the places and spaces where we live, work and play by balancing the different opportunities and challenges that influence urban design and the development of communities. Approaches to manage surface water that take account of water quantity (flooding), water quality (pollution) biodiversity (wildlife and plants) and amenity are collectively referred to as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). SuDS mimic nature and typically manage rainfall close to where it falls. SUDS are drainage systems that are considered to be environmentally beneficial, causing minimal or no long-term detrimental damage. SuDS are more sustainable than traditional drainage methods because they: Figure 1 demonstrates the impacts of urbanisation on a catchment by reducing its permeability and increasing surface water runoff. Sustainable drainage is a concept that includes long term environmental and social factors in decisions about drainage.
Temperate Coniferous Forest | Biomes Temperate evergreen forests are found predominantly in areas with warm summers and cool winters, and vary enormously in their kinds of plant life. In some, needleleaf trees dominate, while others are home primarily to broadleaf evergreen trees or a mix of both tree types. Temperate evergreen forests are common in the coastal areas of regions that have mild winters and heavy rainfall, or inland in drier climates or montane areas. Many species of trees inhabit these forests including pine, cedar, fir, and redwood. The understory also contains a wide variety of herbaceous and shrub species. Structurally, these forests are rather simple, consisting of 2 layers generally: an overstory and understory. The Klamath-Siskiyou ecoregion of western North America harbors diverse and unusual assemblages and displays notable endemism for a number of plant and animal taxa.

Urban Path | PH Design As the needs of the inhabitants evolve beyond modern day Beijing, there is a clear disconnect between the people and their city. The Urban Path is an adaptive hybrid infrastructure that directly responds to the expanding demands of its citizens, while providing connectivity throughout the newly defined super city. As the region transforms, the path is manipulated by those who occupy it to serve their own growing demands. Architect: Anthony Harrington Team Members: Matthew Radune, Nimet Anwar At the urban scale, it is a linear form which adapts its branching according to need, function, and efficiency. Elements within the structure act as filtering mechanisms to remediate the ongoing issue of air pollution in the region. Serving as an alternative model to current urban sprawl patterns, housing is deployed throughout the structure producing dense, but adaptable living for varying publics.

Ekologická dílna Brno | Projekty Projekty Meandr Ohře v Karlových Varech – přírodní park Zadavatel: Statutární město Karlovy VaryRozsah prací: studie přírodního parku, technický podklad, projektová dokumentace pro stavební povolení a zadání stavby Revitalizace meandru by měla rozvíjet přírodní potenciál nivní krajiny v aluviu řeky Ohře s dramatickou scenérii říčního údolí. Současně však musí být respektovány přírodní kvality nadregionálního biokoridoru Ohře s vloženým lokálním biocentrem a všechny zákonné podmínky speciální ochrany přírody a krajiny. Návrh studie přírodního parku „Meandr Ohře“ se snaží efektivně využít vše, co řeka a prostor v jejím bezprostřední blízkosti nabízí a zároveň limity daného území dovolují. Náplň přírodního parku poskytuje návštěvníkům všestranné vyžití od herních a sportovních aktivit až po odpočinek a rekreaci v blízkosti řeky, dále nabízí naučný program, vysvětlující všem srozumitelnou formou vlastnosti a děje, které lze na území meandru pozorovat.

How tall can a tree grow? - Valentin Hammoudi As explained in this lesson, at the base of the tree the phloem sap has delivered most of its sugar and is therefore quite watery. Just next to it, the xylem sap is rich in minerals, which were mostly absorbed by the roots. This unbalanced rate of water between phloem and xylem leads to water movement from the first one to the latter one, due to a phenomenon called osmosis. Unsurprisingly, a mirrored water exchange takes place at the top of the tree. Once it has delivered its nutrients and reached the tree’s top, the xylem sap is very watery, and by a similar osmotic movement, water goes from the xylem to the phloem enabling the production of new phloem sap. As water gets evaporated at the leaves, the pressure inside the xylem rises which creates the so-called follicular aspiration making the xylem sap move upwards. One of the additional characteristic of this circulatory system is its extreme low energy cost.
