... Centralized stormwater management, proposed by a large body of literature [69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78], through the implementation of systems that control runoff, minimize erosion, pollution and promote water reuse. Adapting existing infrastructures to improve resilience to climate change, plus [79][80][81][82][83] implementing models and assessments, such as the Storm Water Management (SWMM) and Real Time Control (RTC) allow the design and improvement of drainage infrastructure, adapting it to future needs and local characteristics even through these models have not reached the expected range, [84,85] denote systems wich include vegetation, not only improve the urban aesthetic but also increase resilience to flooding by naturally absorbing water (NBS); these proposal of various strategies such as integration of BGI, GIS tools and SuDS seek to maximize environmental, social and economic benefits while minimizing environmental impact [18,78,[86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100]; additionally the need for policy and strategic frameworks to emphasize effective water resource management, including green water valuation and technologies adapting to new concepts for water monitoring and conservation in vulnerable areas [68,[101][102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115][116][117]; a concept that highlights among papers [118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126][127][128][129][130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137], is urban resilience wich is achieved through the integration of green, blue and grey infrastructures, this implies a proactive and innovative approach; added to this [138,139] support the sustainability criterion in urban ecosystem management not only control floods but also provide vital ecosystem services such as habitat provision and water quality regulation. In parallel to these ideas SuDS take a main pillar because their effectiveness lies in their multifunctional approach wich includes systems such as green roofs, vegetated ditches, permeable pavements, among others, strengthen and encourage a reduction 12 in the load of traditional drainage infrastructure and the improvement of water efficiency [140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148][149][150][151][152][153][154][155]. ...

Review of Green Water Systems for Urban Flood Resilience: Literature and Codes

... This paper presents the average effect of urban areas on local and regional temperature and rainfall using a single GCM employing a specific urban parameterization. Hence, a GCM intercomparison study would be desirable, like the WCRP Flagship Pilot Study URB-RCC (Langendijk et al., 2024), where coordinated experiments will be carried out with convection-permitting regional climate models coupled with urban parameterizations of different complexity. Similarly, higher-resolution global model runs should be completed to increase the number of urban grid cells for more robust statistics, especially for the Tropics and SET. ...

... In a closely related study, delved into the consequences of human intervention and rising sea levels on waterlogging within specific areas, particularly Polders-24 and 25. Their analysis provides insights into how anthropogenic factors and natural climatic changes exacerbate waterlogging, highlighting the need for integrated management strategies (Arheimer et al. 2024). To address potential solutions, Dasgupta et al. (2019) proposed the concept of temporary de-poldering. ...

... There are many reasons for the coexistence of the two species in arid areas, such as differences in root distribution and different utilization of soil water. Moreover, HNS is based on special traits (such as root structure) formed in the long-term interaction between plants and environmental factors, enabling plants to use various water resources under different soil water gradients (Araya et al., 2011;Silvertown et al., 2015;Zhao et al., 2024). These findings show that the key factors affecting water use patterns are water status and root structure of plants, and the root distribution in space and the soil water gradient also have a significant impact on the process of HNS, species coexistence, and ecosystem stability (Brum et al., 2019). ...

... These isotopes have been widely applied to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of hydrological processes [19][20][21]. Furthermore, radioactive isotopes like 3 H are used to determine the age and recharge rates of soil water [22,23]. The combined use of stable and radioactive isotopes offers a powerful approach for both qualitative and quantitative analyses of soil water recharge mechanisms. ...

... Previously, several studies have used satellite data records to estimate long-term climate trends. However, they have reported that some datasets have significant over-or underestimation capacity to predict actual precipitation and temperature counts and suggested to use of monthly means to eradicate such issues (Du et al., 2024;Dollan et al., 2024). Moreover, another recent study by Kim et al. (2024) has reported a significant overestimation of regional temperature counts (nearly 4°C) due to the presence of intense snow cover. ...

... Accessibility is a factor in shaping patterns of land use change, socio-economic interactions, and spatial relationships. However, the complexity of these interactions requires careful consideration of various factors, including the specific characteristics of different land-use types, the scale of analysis, and local geographical variations [15][16][17][18][19]. Port integration generally positively impacts the economy, and varies across regions and city sizes. ...

... Moreover, the North Sea Caspian Pattern (NCP) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) may also have an impact on precipitation in ACA. Specifically, when the NCP is in its positive (negative) phase, it may lead to increased northward (southward) circulation near the Caspian Sea [98,99], potentially affecting precipitation in ACA. Similarly, during the positive phase of the IOD, the stronger summer monsoon over the Indian Ocean could result in the transportation of more moisture from the Indian Ocean towards ACA, consequently leading to increased precipitation in that region [100,101]. ...

... For example, re-installations early in the growing season due to probe misalignment hindered our ability to quantify transpiration in April 2021, which suggests our hillslope-scale transpiration values are underestimated. In addition, the relationship between DBH and sap flow may vary across stand structure (e.g., density, species, age) and the relationship between sapwood area and DBH may vary across the oak genus (Forrester et al., 2022;Schoppach et al., 2021Schoppach et al., , 2023. This highlights the importance of well-thought-out fieldbased studies to identify how stand structure influences sap flow to better constrain oak transpiration from the individual tree to hillslope-scale. ...
