“…Water infiltration is frequently promoted as a WSUD technique in arid environments (Carmon and Shamir 2010). Israel's coastal plain has relatively high-quality runoff that renders it suitable for reuse or direct recharge into the local aquifer (Goldshleger et al 2015). In addition to flood protection and stream rehabilitation (Sadan et al 2011), recharge and use of surface runoff relieves pressure to desalinate.…”

Coastal cliff collapse is a problem faced along many shorelines the world over, especially as cliffs tend to be affected by global climate change. Problems of cliff collapse can benefit from interdisciplinary policy responses that synthesize principles of three paradigms: integrated watershed management, integrated coastal zone management, and water-sensitive urban design. This exploratory, largely empirical research looks at how local and national policies address coastal cliff collapse along Israel's Mediterranean seashore, in a way that highlights impediments and opportunities for integrated planning. Findings emphasize the importance of addressing urban runoff to prevent coastal cliff collapse using practices originating based on the three paradigms. Conclusions provide insights about policies that could improve the resilience of coastal communities suffering from coastal cliff collapse in the era of climate change. Particularly, greater cross-scale (regional and national) efforts are needed to coordinate proper drainage of the watershed that along coastal cliffs involves integrating principles of watershed management, coastal management, and urban design practices. These should be aimed at implementing practices that reduce phenomena that lead to cliff destabilization, such as ensuring runoff diversion and implementing building setbacks. The case study research leads to recommendations for policy mechanisms that provide opportunities to implement such practices.

“…Besides, the urban hydrological process simulation should be close to the actual situation as much as possible to minimize the discrepancies between simulated and observed runoff, achieving accurate prediction or other goals [43]. Examples of factors to consider include digital elevation model [44], different urban surfaces [45,46], meteorology [47], and others (e.g., hydraulic structures, soil type, precipitation) [48][49][50]. A large number of researchers focus on the prediction of urban floods, part of which aims at improving the model accuracy.…”

Urban floods research has been attracting extensive attention with the increasing threat of flood risk and environmental hazards due to global climate change and urbanization. However, there is rarely a comprehensive review of this field and it remains unclear how the research topics on urban floods have evolved. In this study, we analyzed the development of urban floods research and explored the hotspots and frontiers of this field by scientific knowledge mapping. In total, 3314 published articles from 2006 to 2021 were analyzed. The results suggest that the number of published articles in the field of urban floods generally has an upward trend year by year, and the research focus has shifted from exploring hydrological processes to adopting advanced management measures to solve urban flood problems. Moreover, urban stormwater management and low impact development in the context of climate change and urbanization have gradually become research hotspots. Future research directions based on the status and trends of the urban floods field were also discussed. This research can not only inspire other researchers and policymakers, but also demonstrates the effectiveness of scientific knowledge mapping analysis by the use of the software CiteSpace and VOSviewer.

“…Although many researchers have studied the effect of land use change on hydrologic cycles, most previous studies have focused on the watershed [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] or small urban catchment [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ] scales. There have been few investigations into the direct runoff of a large urban area with high spatial resolution.…”

Urbanization is one of the most widespread anthropogenic activities, which brings a range of physical and biochemical changes to hydrological system and processes. Increasing direct runoff caused by land use change has become a major challenge for urban ecological security. Reliable prediction of the quantity and rate of surface runoff is an inherently difficult and time-consuming task for large ungauged urban areas. In this study, we combined Geographic Information System and remote sensing technology with an improved Soil Conservation Service curve number model to evaluate the effects of land use change on direct runoff volume of the four-ring area in Shenyang, China, and analyzed trends of direct runoff at different scales. Through analyzing trends of direct runoff from 1984 to 2015 at different scales, we explored how urbanization and other potential factors affect direct runoff changes. Total direct runoff volume increased over time, and trends varied from the inner urban area to suburban area. Zones 1 and 2 had a tendency toward decreasing direct runoff volume and risks, while Zones 3 and 4 showed gradual increases at both regional and pixel scales. The most important influence on direct runoff change was urban surface change caused by urbanization. This study presents a framework for identifying hotspots of runoff increase, which can provide important guidance to urban managers in future green infrastructure planning, in the hopes of improving the security of urban water ecological patterns.
