Abstract

This work aims to show a streamlined framework to assess Nature-based Solution (NbS) scenarios in stormwater management. Different scenarios for NbS were assessed using computational modeling to estimate the extension of flooded areas. Scenario 1 represents the current situation with no NbS implemented, Scenario 2 increased vegetation cover, Scenario 3 used linear gardens, and Scenario 4 rain gardens. Hydrological modeling combined Georeferenced Information System (GIS) and flooding spot analysis. Scenarios 3 and 4 were able to avoid flooding, with almost no flooding spots. The results indicate that the proposed assessment framework was an efficient way to compare different scenarios for stormwater management.
