"Investigating Nature-based Solutions Potential to Mitigate Urban Pluvial Flooding: A Case Study in Bochum, Germany"

"Investigating Nature-based Solutions Potential to Mitigate Urban Pluvial Flooding: A Case Study in Bochum, Germany" by Eva Ricarda Elisabeth Hartkopf, Giuseppe Formetta, Christian Albert, and Blal Adem Esmail has been published in the Journal of Water Management Modeling.

Through a case study approach, this paper investigates the pluvial flood mitigation potential of different NbS implementation scenarios on a local scale for different storm intensities and durations. The results suggest Nature-based Solutions are effective against pluvial floods in Bochum. Extensive, holistic Nature-based Solutions implementation is crucial for adapting sewer systems and enhancing city-wide resilience.
