Loss of natural soil and vegetation within the urban environment can significantly affect the
hydrologic cycle by increasing storm water runoff rates and volumes. In order to mitigate …

Performance of vegetated roofs are investigated in terms of their expected benefits for the
building and the urban environment, due to their recognised energy and water management …

Hydrological model simulations can be applied to evaluate the performance of low impact
development (LID) tools in urban areas. However, the assessment for large-scale urban …

Low Impact Development (LID) tools and green infrastructure approaches have been
developed and applied to mitigate the urbanization impacts on increasing runoff and …

At the building scale, the use of green roof has shown a positive impact on urban runoff
(decrease and slow-down in peak discharge, decrease in runoff volume). The present work …

Bioretention cells (BCs) have received increasing attention in stormwater quality and
quantity management. Selecting a suitable implementation level of BCs to concurrently …

Abstract Low Impact Development (LID) aims to mitigate the hydrological impacts of
urbanization by replication of processes in natural catchments. Green roofs covered with …

In tropical countries like Brazil, fast and uncontrolled urbanization, together with high rainfall
intensities, makes flooding a frequent event. The implementation of decentralized …

The urban growth leads cities to adopt sustainable strategies in order to mitigate the relevant
hydrological effects. In this study, the use of synthetic aperture radar SAR imagery has …

The increasing intensity and frequency of extreme storms pose a growing challenge to
stormwater management in highly urbanized areas. Without an adequate and appropriate …
