“…The input of crossfalls (or cambers) is governed by road-building standards, where an angle (usually 3% for a paved road) is built into the carriageway design to aid water mobilisation off the road surface by the shortest path which consequently alters topography. , where considerable wetlands have gradually been replaced by widespread urban development (Li et al 2015).…”

“…In developing countries, urban growth continues to occur across large spatial scales, often with entire cities being constructed in short times (e.g. Binhai New Area, China; Li et al 2015). By contrast, urban development in developed countries occurs at local scales, with individual buildings or small housing estates being typical, aided in part by advances in monitoring technologies (such as highresolution remote-sensing platforms) that provide insight into changing dynamics within the urban environment (Ragab et al 2003, Blocken et al 2013.…”

As urban space continues to expand to accommodate a growing global population, there remains a real need to quantify and qualify the impacts of urban space on natural processes. The expansion of global urban areas has resulted in marked alterations to natural processes, environmental quality and natural resource consumption. The urban landscape influences infiltration and evapotranspiration, complicating our capacity to quantify their dynamics across a heterogeneous landscape at contrasting scales. Impervious surfaces exacerbate runoff processes, whereas runoff from pervious areas remains uncertain owing to variable infiltration dynamics. Increasingly, the link between the natural hydrological cycle and engineered water cycle has been made, realising the contributions from leaky infrastructure to recharge and runoff rates. Urban landscapes are host to a suite of contaminants that impact on water quality, where novel contaminants continue to pose new challenges to monitoring and treatment regimes. This review seeks to assess the major advances and remaining challenges that remain within the growing field of urban hydrology. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…After establishing water supply and demand nodes and a corresponding connecting relationship, the optimal flow configuration result for each step is obtained by solving the linear programming under prioritization, supply preference, quality balance, and other constraints (Sieber and Purkey ). The WEAP model has been successfully used worldwide, including in California, western Iran, Benin, Morocco, and many cities in China (Höllermann et al ; Rochdane et al ; Li et al ; Safavi et al ; Johannsen et al ; Gao et al ; Jamshid Mousavi et al ) and as such adopted for this study.…”

Research Impact Statement: Importance of the MR-SNWDP (middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project) for ensuring available water supplies in Beijing.ABSTRACT: Since its implementation in 2015, the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (MR-SNWDP) has transferred an average of 45 billion cubic meters of surface water per year from the Yangtze River in southern China to the Yellow River and Hai River Basin in northern China, but how that supply is able to cope with droughts under different scenarios has not been explored. In this study, using the water demand for 2020 as the guaranteed water target, a Water Evaluation and Planning system was used to simulate available water supplies in Beijing under different drought scenarios. In the case of a single-year drought, without the MR-SNWDP, Beijing's water shortage ratio was 16.7%; with the MR-SNWDP, this ratio reduced to 7.3%. In the case of a multi-year drought, without the MR-SNWDP, Beijing's water shortage ratio was 25.3%; with the MR-SNWDP, this ratio reduced to 7.4% and domestic water supply was improved. Our research suggests that to prepare for multi-year drought in the Beijing area, the SNWDP supports increased supplies to the region that would mitigate drought effects. This study is, however, mostly focused on water supply provision to Beijing and does not comprehensively evaluate other potential impacts. Multiple additional avenues could be pursued that include replenishing groundwater, increasing reservoir storage, and water conservation methods. Further research is needed to explore the relative costs and benefits of these approaches.

“…Likewise, Song et al established an optimal allocation of water resources by using WEAP to establish a reliable scientific basis for Longkou City's future water use and development [22]. Li et al used WEAP to analyze the influence of urbanization, industrial restructuring, and water resource policy change on Tianjin Binhai New Area's water resource utilization [23]. Overall, recent research using WEAP has been mostly focused on the watershed scale, with fewer studies of the urban water balance.…”

Abstract:A water evaluation and planning model (WEAP) for Xiamen City was used to analyze trends in water use and demand between 2015 and 2050. This study was unique in that it considered the water resources of each of the city's five districts' separately, rather than the city as a whole. The water saving potential, water shortages, and water supply alternatives were analyzed under different simulated scenarios. The results show that future water consumption will greatly increase in Xiamen City, and that there will be a water shortage after 2030 without new water supplies. Water shortages will first occur in the Tongan and Xiangan districts, due to established water supply priorities and capacity. Industry restructuring (structural water-saving scenario, SWS) and advanced water-saving technology (technical water-saving scenario, TWS) can result in water saving potentials of 6.97% and 9.82% by 2050, respectively, while adopting both strategies (double water-saving scenario, DWS) can save 16.44%. The prevention of future water shortages requires the implementation of water-saving measures and the use of new water supplies.
