Abstract
ABSTRACTCentral Chile’s Concon City urbanization trend has severely affected local hydrological processes. This research hypothesizes that switching to sustainable land-use/land-cover (LULC) in three Concon watersheds reduces the severity of their corresponding hydrological responses. High sustainability LULC zones would decrease runoff and enhance interception and infiltration, generating hydrograph curves with extended lag time and moderate peak flows. The Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) is used for simulating watershed processes. Decreases in peak flows of 31.1%, 19.8%, and 54.5%, were estimated. Therefore, sustainable LULC reduces the severity of the hydrological responses, benefiting storm water management. Real-world applications in Europe and the USA achieved comparable results. Urban master plans in Chile have favored the alteration of natural landscapes (anthropization). Per national regulations, changes to urban plans can be made every ten years. The results of this research will be valuable in future revisions of Concon’s urban plan.KEYWORDS: Land useland coverhydrological modelingstormwater managementConcónChile Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe datasets used and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on request.
期刊介绍:
Urban Water Journal provides a forum for the research and professional communities dealing with water systems in the urban environment, directly contributing to the furtherance of sustainable development. Particular emphasis is placed on the analysis of interrelationships and interactions between the individual water systems, urban water bodies and the wider environment. The Journal encourages the adoption of an integrated approach, and system''s thinking to solve the numerous problems associated with sustainable urban water management.
Urban Water Journal focuses on the water-related infrastructure in the city: namely potable water supply, treatment and distribution; wastewater collection, treatment and management, and environmental return; storm drainage and urban flood management. Specific topics of interest include:
network design, optimisation, management, operation and rehabilitation;
novel treatment processes for water and wastewater, resource recovery, treatment plant design and optimisation as well as treatment plants as part of the integrated urban water system;
demand management and water efficiency, water recycling and source control;
stormwater management, urban flood risk quantification and management;
monitoring, utilisation and management of urban water bodies including groundwater;
water-sensitive planning and design (including analysis of interactions of the urban water cycle with city planning and green infrastructure);
resilience of the urban water system, long term scenarios to manage uncertainty, system stress testing;
data needs, smart metering and sensors, advanced data analytics for knowledge discovery, quantification and management of uncertainty, smart technologies for urban water systems;
decision-support and informatic tools;...
