Have you ever wondered about the impacts of circular economy in urban resilience? What would happen if the City invested in household strategies like rainwater harvesting, greywater reuse, and high-efficient water fixtures like showerheads, toilets, and washing machines in a dense flood-prone neighborhood with combined sewer systems? Would that help reduce flooding and combined sewer overflows?
This is what we investigated in this paper, now published in Urban Climate! Check it out: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.uclim.2026.102887
Grateful to work with a wonderful team at our department of Civil, Architectural & Environmental Engineering at Drexel University 🐉 Thanks to all our students and colleagues who were a part of it, especially Meghna Rajbhandari and Amanda Carneiro Marques, Ph.D. from Drexel’s Water lab.
