Effective management of urban water should be based on a scientific understanding of the impact of human activity on both the urban hydrological cycle - including its processes and interactions - and the environment itself. Such anthropogenic impacts, which vary broadly in time and space, need to ...
The rapid development of the economy promotes the increasing of interactions between cities and forms complex networks. Many scholars have explored the structural characteristics of urban spatial interaction networks in China and have conducted spatio-temporal analyzes. However, scholars have mainly focused...
In this Article, we interpret urban water crises as social-environmental extremes11and retrace hydroclimatic and sociopolitical processes generating the increasing gap between water supply and demand, along with the resulting uneven levels of water insecurity. In particular, we draw on critical social sc...

Industrial processes can be a source of pollution within catchments. In Europe and North America such facilities are closely regulated and monitored so that they do not exceed strict consent conditions (IPCC, 2007). The potential presence of these facilities would be considered in the assessment, ...
These studies likely aimed to provide a holistic approach to flood visualisation, considering the interdependencies and interactions among prevention, mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery. By encompassing all stages, these comprehensive studies offer valuable insights into the potential synergies ...
Urban areas are the largest source of pollutants that directly or indirectly will end up in the air, soil, and water. It is paramount to find solutions to reduce the impact of pollution on climate change, ecosystem services, biodiversity loss, and human
Integrating urban green infrastructure (UGI) into cities is receiving increasing attention owing to its potential to provide various urban ecosystem services (UES). This review assesses the multifaceted services of UGI as benefits and co-benefits. By combining systematic and narrative review processes, ...
Fig. 4: Interactions between pervious area and precipitation partitioning between infiltration and runoff for 2482 lots. Values are presented asacumulative depths (normalized by parcel area) for three end-member states (pre-demolition, post-demolition, redeveloped) that havebintroduced a patchwork lands...
It efficiently combines complex and diverse processes and interactions that vary from human body to city scale. Thus, mitigation strategies such as urban ventilation, material alteration, improvement of thermal comfort, and building energy demand are being widely researched using the model in different ...
