| Abstract |
Cities are facing major threats related to a changing climate. Issues related to urban stormwater management are rising importance. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) have shown a high potential to manage urban stormwater from a holistic perspective: managing water quantity and quality in decentralised schemes as well as delivering multiple benefits for citizens and urban biodiversity.During the last three years, the coordinated project HOFIDRAIN funded by the Spanish Research Council, analysed different filtering SUDS techniques (porous and permeable pavements and green roofs) at laboratory scale from different points of view. The project has been conducted by research teams from UniversitatPolitecnicade Valencia(UPV), Universidad de Cantabria (UC) and Universidade da Coruna (UDC). In this work a summary of the main findings related with the hydrological, environmental and mechanical characterization of permeable pavements, as well as green roofs, at laboratory scale will be presented. This research also investigates the challenges for the near future of SUDS in the Spanish context. Long-term monitoring strategies are being implemented nowadays at living-lab scale in the facilities managed by the research groups of UPV, UC and UDC. The development of tools, procedures, and a regulatory framework to assess SUDS benefits that can be transferred easily by public administrations and practitioners at city scale will be discussed. This framework will ensure that all the necessary processes of urban regeneration for adaptation to climate change threats related to stormwater management will be conducted incorporating sustainability and smart governance criteria. |
