Storm sewer systems and their associated utility trenches may strongly influence the effects of urbanization on a groundwater system. This study was undertaken to identify the causes of district-wide basement infiltration in an aquitard system. It comprised widespread continuous monitoring of utility trench wells and dye tracing from storm sewer system exfiltration tests.

- - The concept that noncrop habitats can improve pest control while supporting biodiversity has gained traction, but the results are inconsistent across different studies.
- - An analysis of 132 studies showed that while landscape composition often influenced pest and natural enemy populations, the outcomes varied significantly, leading to no definitive improvement in overall pest management.
- - The findings suggest that noncrop habitats do not uniformly enhance pest control, indicating a need for better guidelines to help farmers understand when habitat conservation will actually benefit crop yields.
We report a facile method for the synthesis of Li(0.3)La(0.57)TiO3 by forming a coagulated precursor solution which contains Li(+), La(3+), and TiO2 nanoparticles mixed highly homogeneously.
