“…Wastewater generated from various sources like agricultural [ 1 , 2 ], industrial [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ], commercial [ 7 , 8 , 9 ], the institution [ 6 , 10 ], and domestic [ 11 , 12 ] with different contents of pollutants that affect the natural condition of the environment [ 6 , 11 ]. Rendering to [ 6 , 13 ] hospital is an institution that needs a huge quantity of water and abstemiously releases wastewater to an environment that contains toxic pollutants such as metal oxides, hazardous liquid waste from various units, radioactive waste, bacteria, viruses, blood, fluids, different concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) that affects environments in different aspects [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…Also, the recirculation of a portion of the effluent in the influent increased the turbidity, organic matter, and nitrogen removal. Liu et al (2021) expressed that GRs irrigated with domestic wastewater satisfied GR irrigation requirements and improved the urban wastewater treatment system. Through using greywater for GR irrigation and planting different plant species, they showed that GRs can be considered as a nature-based solution for domestic wastewater treatment and revive the urban water resource (Liu et al 2021).…”

Green roofs have gained much attention as a modern roofing surface due to their potential to deliver many environmental and social benefits. Studies have indicated that different GR designs deliver different ecosystem services, and there are important factors that affect GR performance. This article reviewed significant factors that influence GR performance and sustainability. Substrate and drainage layer material choice significantly affects stormwater retention potential, leachate quality, plant survival, and determines GR environmental footprints. Subsequently, type of plants, their form, and kinds used on GRs impact GR ecosystem function. Leaf area is the most studied trait due to its influence on the cooling potential and energy performance. In order to achieve a sustainable GR, it is essential to select the type of plants that have a high survival rate. Perennial herbs, particularly forbs and grass as dominant groups, are heat and drought tolerant, which make them suitable in GR experiment. Furthermore, selecting a suitable irrigation system is as important as two other factors for having a sustainable GR. Irrigation is essential for plant survival, and due to the current pressure on valuable water sources, it is important to select a sustainable irrigation system. This review presents three sustainable irrigation methods: (i) employing alternative water sources such as rainwater, greywater, and atmospheric water; (ii) smart irrigation and monitoring; and (iii) using adaptive materials and additives that improve GR water use. This review sheds new insights on the design of high-performance, sustainable GRs and provides guidance for the legislation of sustainable GR.

“…As it is shown by the authors, green structures are the biotechnical mechanisms for rising environment-safety of buildings, which can connect technogenic and natural environment in cities. They can solve different problems (Andenaes et al, 2021;Bohan Shao, 2021;Bortolini et al, 2021;Fantozzi et al, 2021;Giacomello et al, 2021;Iffland et al, 2021;Juricic et al, 2021;Kaewpraek et al 2021;Lijiao Liu, 2021;Procaccini et al, 2021;Tkachenko, 2018;Tkachenko et al, 2019a;Tkachenko et al, 2019b;Tkachenko et al, 2020;Tkachenko et al, 2021;Yongjun Pan, 2021) including rising energy efficiency, sanitizing the interiors, exteriors and make them more comfort etc. We consider them as one of the most effective natural solutions for rainwater management, which should be used more widely on different types of city roads.…”

Rainwater management is one of the important problems of cities. At very strong downpours, storm sewer systems may not capture the rainwater, which floods pavements and roadways. The water flushes fuel and oil traces after vehicles, fallen debris, and other pollutants, which will be moved to the ground, ponds, rivers, seas, etc. In past, the problems were solved using engineering approaches – a set of rainwater receivers, a duct network, and at best, wastewater treatment plants. Now, the sponge city concept is a better solution that uses a biotechnological way for throttling water flows, drainage, and purifying them. The work aims to improve the design of roads to fully absorb rainwater from them with maximum convenience for road users. We propose a design of roads using special “green structures” – rain-garden bands along the sides of roadways. We tested its ability of water capturing on the example of Kyiv city by matching the ability with the strongest precipitation observed. In addition, the proposed plants can extinguish the energy of bouncing cars during road accidents for the protection of pavements.
