There are many unanswered questions regarding chemical interactions and fate processes. What is the composition and impact of chemical interactions given the complex mixture of chemicals emitted and found in urban matrices (e.g. enhanced rates of chemical reaction and a wider range of transformation products) What are the roles of urban form and management practices in mediating transport dynamics (e.g. the implications of stormwater management systems on total chemical fate) Furthermore, what role do different types of urban development patterns and heat island effects play with respect to contaminant fate Does the simplified vegetative community that is dominated by exotic species influence the rate at which chemicals are processed or accumulated ... 

The solution proposed in the paper uses experience of approved rainwater and flood management of developed countries, mainly from stormwater management of SUDS and rest from LID and BMPs, with consideration of Fujian s actual conditions, to design rain adap-tative landscape system for city. Based on linear landscape of retention and drainage which leads water into dotted water landscape of reservoirs, combined permeable paving, it forms primary, intermediate and advanced stormwater reducer made by rain adaptative landscape to perform source, midway and end controls.

I had a big corner office, a company car, and special perks. That was nice—that was success. At the same time I managed a project that resulted in the construction of a multi-purpose stormwater management-recreation facility. I see it often—it is heavily used—and hardly anyone remembers my role and that s not important. What is important is the positive impact that project has had, and will continue to have, on many people. That s my idea of significance. 

A nation s quality of life is heavily dependent on its infrastmcture which includes, but is not limited to, its water supply and wastewater systems, transportation systems (e.g., highways, bridges, tunnels, railroads, airports, ports), stormwater management and flood control systems, communication systems, power generation and distribution systems, and other structures, facilities, and systems supportive of daily life. The infrastructure is built and maintained by the constmction industry. Annual U.S. constmction is on the order of a trillion (1,000 billion) dollars making it the largest product-based, contrasted with service-based, industry in the country (Halpin 2006).

Drill site construction and rigging-up A preplanning opportunity for a drilling operation is in the construction of the location and roads. The drilling location and the associated roads should be planned so that they are constructed such that stormwater runoff is diverted away from the location, and that the location s stormwater runoff, which may be contaminated, is collected. Construction of the location and roads should be planned so that erosion is minimized. These steps will help minimize the volume of contaminated stormwater runoff to be managed [59,63-66].

Some developed countries used to be faced with the same stormwater problems as China do today. They have developed approved theories and technologies and put them into wide use after decades of study. American BMPs (Best Management Practices), a typical system of 1970s, solves problems related to water quality, water amount and environmental protection...
