“…Encompassing the social dimensions of urban flooding is essential to enable effective environmental‐technical discourse concerning sustainable stormwater management (Cettner et al ., ) and consideration of the environmental and social uncertainties generated outside the engineered system (Geldof, 1995a, b). These issues are manifest in the form of technical barriers to uptake that cite uncertainties concerning the long‐term performance of BGI versus grey infrastructure and the perception that maintenance of BGI is more expensive and difficult to deliver.…”

Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) and Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are increasingly recognised as vital components of urban flood risk management. However, uncertainty regarding their hydrologic performance and lack of confidence concerning their public acceptability create concerns and challenges that limit their widespread adoption. This paper investigates barriers to implementation of BGI in Portland, Oregon, using the Relevant Dominant Uncertainty (RDU) approach. Two types of RDU are identified: scientific RDUs related to physical processes that affect infrastructure performance and service provision, and socio-political RDUs that reflect a lack of confidence in socio-political structures and public preferences for BGI. We find that socio-political RDUs currently exert the strongest negative influences on BGI decision making in Portland. We conclude that identification and management of both biophysical and socio-political uncertainties are essential to broadening the implementation of BGI and sustainable urban flood risk management solutions that are practical, scientifically sound, and supported by local stakeholders.

“…This type contains 45 numbers, occupying 4.678%. The type VII is primarily clustered as sustainability evaluation and analysis with 38 papers accounting for 3.95% in sum, such as the sustainable development of urban stormwater practice [76], or sustainability of urban water system [77]. The type VIII refers to intelligent management or intelligent metering for urban water, for example, Fernández et al developed a geographic information system(GIS) water management system by using some free and open source software [78].…”

As the increase threat of flood risk and environmental safety due to the urbanization, Sponge city research has been attracting extensive attention both in practical and theoretical research field. To date, there are only scattered studies about Sponge city. Moreover, vary names of Sponge city prevalent in different countries, which leads to disconnection of literature in the same field of Sponge city. In this paper, a thorough systematic literature mining of Sponge city is presented. A literature analysis system is created, which includes literature export from Web of Sciences and systematic analysis via NoteExpress and CiteSpace. Some literature statistical results are derived. Challenges and opportunities for future research are anticipated. Our goals are to promote this promising thought, summarize past research, and identify issues for future research to create impacts on the practice of Sponge city.

“…The approach to urban drainage management adopted in the study area favors a traditional perspective in which watershed management or more sustainable practices [11] are not incorporated. Practices that promote a more sustainable management of drainage systems and water resources have been increasingly recommended and studied [12][13][14], despite the mismatches between what is proposed by these studies and the actual actions taken by administrative bodies [11]. In the specific case investigated, the lack of integration between the sectors is a major gap that allows these problems to keep happening and to have a larger and larger impact on the local environment.…”

This study identified and systematized the interfaces between traditional urban drainage systems and water resources with the aim of providing decision-makers with the scientific and technical knowledge required to develop an integrated urban water management strategy. After the collection of technical documents on the sanitation infrastructure of the Rio Tavares and Morro das Pedras watersheds, in Florianópolis, Brazil, the stormwater drainage system of the region was mapped and the environmental characterization described, dividing the two basins into 6 regions for analytical purposes. The systematization of the documents resulted in a synthesis map generated by cross-checking the information regarding the current drainage system, the hydrography, and the vulnerability of the Campeche aquifer (DRASTIC and GOD methods), thus revealing the interfaces between stormwater management and surface and groundwater resources. The diagnostic phase identified the use of structural measures for the straightening and/or channelization of parts of the river. In the analyzed orthophotos, flooding points were observed downstream of the watersheds. The stormwater effluents are discharged, without any pretreatment, into the mangroves and sandbanks, or infiltrate through the drainage pipe, creating points of contaminant injection in the Campeche aquifer. This study suggests the creation of a unified database for the drainage network, hydrography and urban infrastructure, as well as the standardization of projects by means of sanitation, water resource, and stormwater management plans. and drainage systems are developed in order to assess the real impacts of urban drainage systems on surface and groundwater resources.
