An integrated framework for stormwater management and life cycle assessment of rainwater harvesting: A comparative study of two underserved communities

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: of collected stormwater, there is a lower reduction in GWP for Imperial Beach than San Leandro, and a higher contribution to HTP. This study advances current knowledge by quantifying RB benefits through multiple sustainability metrics, while comparing two underserved coastal California communities with distinct rainfall patterns. It demonstrates that while RBs reduce runoff and pollution, they also present environmental trade-offs, providing key insights for green infrastructure deployment.
