Environmental impact assessment of sustainable drainage sidewalk systems using LCA

The environmental impacts imposed by various Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), for urban paving applications, will be determined with the use of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) tool, SimaPro. Results from this investigation will contribute to achieving the larger sustainability agenda, in terms o...
