“…GI technology makes use of green vegetation to manage pollution and reduce voluminous runoff generated during heavy rainfall events with no side effect on the environment in the cleaning process (Rai, 2013). Thus, this eco-friendly and cost-effective technique must be fully exploited to achieve sustainability and manage urban flooding (Ngo, Guo, & Boopathy, 2019).…”

Major modifications are needed in existing stormwater management practices to control floods in urban landscapes, protect natural ecosystems, and minimize infrastructural destruction due to stormwater hazards. Stormwater management combined with urban design can be the best solution to minimize urban flooding risks and promote a clean natural environment. Green infrastructure (GI) is an environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional methods of stormwater management. Rain gardens, a GI, play a vital role in reducing rainwater volume and flow, prevent asset's destruction, remove pollutants from urban runoff, and recharge groundwater. Rain gardens can remove sediments, heavy metals, pathogens, nutrients, hydrocarbons from stormwater via several mechanisms. Various amendments in soil media help in delayed saturation, low sorption capacity, limited pollutant mobility, and bioaccumulation/biotransformation of metals/organic compounds in rain gardens. Soil media and plants play a vital role in the pollutant removal processes of rain gardens. Various plant‐based mechanisms and chemical processes like adsorption, reduction, sedimentation, cation‐exchange capacity, complexation, and so forth are involved in the removal of contaminants from stormwater. Construction and design considerations; different models of rain gardens; working mechanisms; performance assessment tools like capacity tests and synthetic runoff tests; removal of stormwater pollutants, and biphasic rain gardens have been critically discussed in this review. The state‐of‐the‐art review approaches to provide fundamental knowledge of rain gardens and in‐depth analyzes its potential as a stormwater management tool. Future directions on improving efficiencies of rain gardens have also been discussed for prospective researchers. This article is categorized under: Engineering Water

Pollution can be broadly defined as the presence of contaminants or energy sources detrimental to ecosystems and human health. The human organism serves as a valuable indicator of ecosystem contamination. However, understanding physiological disorders and correlating specific contaminants with disease development is a complex and arduous task, necessitating extensive scientific research spanning years or even decades. To facilitate a more rapid and precise understanding of the physiological impairments induced by various contaminants, a comprehensive approach is indispensable. This review proposes a model for such an approach, which involves the systematic collection and analysis of data from ecosystem contamination monitoring, integrated with biomedical data on compromised physiological conditions in humans across different temporal and spatial scales. Given the complexity and sheer volume of data, alongside the imperative for strategic decision-making, this model leverages the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Although this paper exemplifies the model by investigating the effects of contaminants on the human organism, the model is adaptable to all ecosystem components, thereby supporting the conservation of plant and animal species.
