“…Water Management: Climate change has significant implications for water availability, necessitating a range of water management strategies [72]. Rainwater harvesting systems can increase water security, especially in areas experiencing irregular rainfall, while the development of drought-tolerant crops can help ensure food security [73,74]. Greywater recycling can reduce freshwater demand, and efficient household water use strategies can contribute to overall water conservation [75].…”

Climate change threatens urban areas globally. Enhancing resilience is crucial, yet the comprehensive clustering of practical climate adaptation measures for use in construction industry decision-making is notably absent. This study investigates and categorizes various climate adaptation measures, justifying each through a lens of risk management, asset management, and previous scientific work. It takes advantage of the innovative digital platform Netobra, which offers an ecosystem for the construction industry, to provide real-world, practical implications of these measures. Informed by the Urban Resilience Evaluation System, ISO 31000 (risk management), and ISO 55000 (asset management), the study sets out to demonstrate the value of these measures in bolstering urban resilience and improving decision-making in the construction industry. Moreover, the study integrates a hotspot detection mechanism for areas at high risk of climate impacts, using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA)—analytic hierarchy process (AHP) mapping on Netobra. These identified hotspots and corresponding climate adaptation measures will further be incorporated into a Risk-Informed Asset-Centric (RIACT) process, providing valuable insights for climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies in urban development. Through its in-depth analysis, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of how diverse climate adaptation measures can be practically applied in various sectors, thereby enhancing urban resilience and effective risk and asset management.

“…Rainwater harvesting is adopted around the globe because it is the best alternative source of water supply, especially for regions facing water scarcity (Ani et al, 2009). Several countries are focusing on how to utilize rainwater because the existing water resources are limited (Nahar Myyas, Al‐Dabbasa, Tostado‐Véliz, & Jurado, 2022; Szpak et al, 2022). Rainwater harvesting and utilization is adopted by the following countries: Australia, Germany, Greece, China, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Jordon, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Botswana, Togo, Mali, Malawi, Ethiopia, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Sweden, Spain, Tanzania, Brazil, Bermuda and the USA (Abu‐Zreig et al, 2019; Crosson et al, 2021; Domènech & Saurí, 2011; Fewkes, 2012; Ghisi et al, 2009; Karim et al, 2015; Liaw & Tsai, 2004; Matos et al, 2015; Nahar Myyas et al, 2022; Nandi & Gonela, 2022; Notaro et al, 2016; Sazakli et al, 2007; Szpak et al, 2022; Taffere et al, 2016; Villarreal & Dixon, 2005; Xiao Liu et al, 2021).…”

Despite the contributions of modern business practices to environmentally sustainable transformation, there is not enough information on different types of green technologies and their applications. Therefore, it is essential to identify and classify business models that focus on the management practices of green technology. While the literature on green technology business models has received increasing attention over the last decade, interdisciplinary research into this growing phenomenon is still in its infancy and fragmented. The study focuses on the need for green technology for water management worldwide. Such management practices for green technology represent a research gap in the study area because no one has worked in this field before. There should be research to address people's management practices of green entrepreneurial business. The literature highlights that the issue of water crises may be minimized with the management practices of green entrepreneurial business and by applying global green water treatment techniques. The authors believe that this study would be very beneficial for future research on policymaking based on management practices of green technology that promote environmental sustainability through a green business environment.

“…The initial stage of stormwater modelling for urbanized catchments involves establishing relationships between rainfall parameters and surface runoff hydrographs for each specific subcatchment [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] ]. Surface runoff hydrographs from subcatchments serve as crucial input functions that form the runoff hydrographs for urban catchments of varying scales, configurations, and complexities [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ]. Methods for modelling surface runoff should comprehensively consider a multitude of factors and specific characteristics of the subcatchment, including its configuration [ [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] ], absolute dimensions [ 14 , 15 ], slope distribution at the subcatchment's area [ 16 , 17 ], surface cover types and their spatial distribution [ 18 , 19 ], correlation between the total and effective imperviousness [ 2 , 4 , 20 , 21 ], infiltration properties of soils [ 11 , [22] , [23] , [24] ] etc.…”
