Abstract Study region United Kingdom (UK). Study focus Climate change and urbanization
pose significant threats for flooding and water quality in urban areas. This paper reviews the …

In recent years, the conceptual detail of hydrological models has dramatically increased as a
result of improved computational techniques and the availability of spatially-distributed …

Urban hydrology has evolved to improve the way urban runoff is managed for flood
protection, public health and environmental protection. There have been significant recent …

This paper investigates changes in storm runoff resulting from the transformation of
previously rural landscapes into peri-urban areas. Two adjacent catchments (∼ 5 km 2) …

Conventional approaches to stormwater management for environmental protection fail
because they do not address all of the changes to the flow regime caused by conventional …

Though urban areas represent a small fraction of global land cover, they have an outsized
impact on hydrological processes. Within these areas, the pathways that water follows are …

Transit time is a fundamental catchment descriptor that reveals information about storage,
flow pathways and source of water in a single characteristic. Given the importance of transit …

Baseflow is the portion of streamflow that is sustained between precipitation events, fed to
stream channels by delayed (usually subsurface) pathways. Understanding baseflow …

The covering of native soils with impervious surfaces (eg roofs, roads, and pavement)
prevents infiltration of rainfall into the ground, resulting in increased surface runoff and …

Best management practices (BMPs) and low impact development (LID) practices are
increasingly being used as stormwater management techniques to reduce the impacts of …
