Urban flooding has become an increasingly frequent and fatal natural hazard and numerical
modeling techniques play a vital role in its prediction and management. We review urban …

Green roofs reduce runoff from impervious surfaces in urban development. This paper
reviews the technical literature on green roof hydrology. Laboratory experiments and field …

This paper outlines the development of a conceptual hydrological flux model for the long
term continuous simulation of runoff and drought risk for green roof systems. A green roof's …

A four-year record of rainfall and runoff data from nine different extensive (80 mm substrate)
green roof test beds has been analysed to establish the extent to which the substrate …

Although it is widely accepted that the detention performance of green roofs is of interest to
stormwater engineers and planners, no single metric allows detention to be unambiguously …

Increasing recognition is being given to the adoption of green roofs in urban areas to
enhance the local ecosystem. Green roofs may bring several benefits to urban areas …

Green roofs offer many benefits for dense urban environments, one of which is their potential
to supplement existing stormwater management infrastructure. The ability of green roof …

Green roofs are a popular sustainable drainage systems technology. They provide multiple
benefits, amongst which the retention of rainfall and detention of runoff are of particular …

While extensive green roofs are popular measures for reducing and delaying stormwater
runoff, design tools are needed to better predict roof performance based on material …

In spite of the well-known green roof benefits, their widespread adoption in the management
practices of urban drainage systems requires the use of adequate analytical and modelling …
