DOI: 10.1002/rra.3507
Abstract: As interest mounts in nature‐based solutions (NBS) for flood mitigation as complementary options to civil‐engineering measures, possible flood‐protection strategies have become more diverse and hence complicated to assess. We offer a straightforward and educational protocol… read more here.

Urban Biomimicry for Flood Mitigation Using an Ecosystem Service Assessment Tool in Central Wellington, New Zealand
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Biomimetics"
DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8010009
Abstract: Many cities are vulnerable to flooding due to their high proportion of impervious surfaces and lack of vegetated land cover. This vulnerability will often be exacerbated by changing rainfall and storm patterns due to climate… read more here.
