ANALYSIS OF URBAN WATER QUALITY – ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY1
Lanzerstorfer, C., 2018. Heavy metals in the finest size fractions of road-deposited
sediments. Environmental pollution, 239, pp.522-531.
Lanzerstorfer (2018) in the article entitled “Heavy metals in the finest size fractions of
road-deposited sediments” discusses the environmental pollution that is being conducted within
the urban areas. The article discusses the ways in which the minute fractions of heavy metal are
added to the sediments in the water bodies that are made of road deposits. The article discusses
the measures by which the amount of the heavy materials within the water might be calculated.
The concerned paper highlights the various factors that lead up to the increase in the pollution
within the given area as well. The article in discussion highlights the findings that are derived
from the data of over twenty cities that are situated in the Chinese territorial boundaries. The
majority of the issues that are highlighted within the given article in discussion refers to those
that deal with the environmental pollution alongside the water pollution that has been taking
place all over the world. The article highlights the increase in the water pollution due to the
addition of the various waste materials to the sources of water. This in turn has been affecting the
concerned residents of the area. The article further discusses the fatality of the situation and the
various factors that might be affecting the health of the people concerned. The author further
argues on the fact that the high amount of the heavy metals that tend to be incorporated within
the road deposit sediments tend to be present in the water of the area. The article might prove to
be helpful in the current research due to the fact that the article provides proper insight on the
matters that are related to the increase of the number of pollutants and the role that is played by
the materials in the aggravation of the pollution levels within the country. The article provides
proper information as to the ways in which the pollution of the land bears a relation to the
pollution caused in water and the various ill-effects of pollution.

Xie, N., Akin, M., & Shi, X. (2019). Permeable concrete pavements: A review of
environmental benefits and durability. Journal of cleaner production, 210, 1605-
1621.
Xie, Akin and Shi (2019) in the article entitled “Permeable concrete pavements: A review
of environmental benefits and durability” discusses the benefits that might be derived due to the
proper implementation of the permeable concrete pavements or the PCPs. The article highlights
the various issues that might be resolved with the help of the factors that are related to the
permeable concrete pavements or the PCPs. The article majorly focusses on the measures that
are generally undertaken by the government in order to implement the maximization of the
various environmental benefits that would arise due to the implementation of these issues. The
authors of the article tend to implement the various benefits of the development of the
implementation of the permeable concrete pavements or the PCPs within the given area. The
article highlights the ways in which the implementation of the given permeable concrete
pavements or the PCPs would assist the development and the maintenance of the sustainability as
well as the environmental factors that had been reported. The article had also been discussing the
factors that are related to the implementation of the proper environmental issues inclusive of the
issues in the water pollution as is being faced by the concerned organization. The article is
helpful for the completion of the given research project as it helps the readers develop a proper
knowledge regarding the issue of the environmental pollution that is being faced all over the
world in the current situation. The article highlights the increase in the number of pollutants that
are presented within the given areas. The majority of the issues that are highlighted and
discussed within the article attempts to highlight the various factors that are related to the
pollution and the contamination that is generally observed within the varied sources of water.
