Abstract

URBAnWat3r tackles the neglected ecological risks posed by (sub)urban stormwater runoff to aquatic ecosystems. Stemming from three pilot areas, URBAnWat3r will integrate chemical, ecological, and ecotoxicological evidence lines, and engage stakeholders to discuss stormwater management practices. To embrace this endeavour, the URBAnWat3r team comprises specialists in aquatic ecology, ecotoxicology, communication, and science education.(DOI: 10.54499/2023.17531.ICDT)
