“…This action tends to be useful not only to complement the demand from centralized sources, but also to guarantee quality supply to the part of the population that is marginalized in the water supply, making urban systems more resilient (Chelleri et al, 2015;Semaan et al 2020). Moreover, RWH has proven to be a satisfying alternative even in the face of climate change scenarios (Zhang et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2020;Toosi et al, 2020;Imteaz et al, 2021), and it can contribute to urban sustainability not only in the water supply, but also in urban drainage, another part of basic sanitation (Armitage et al, 2014;Veiga, 2019;Carvalho et al, 2020;Araujo et al 2021).…”

Urban areas in semi-arid regions are under chronic water stress. In this scenario, expanding water supply with decentralized sources that collaborate with Water-Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) may be relevant, such as rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems. In this respect, this study aimed to analyze the potential for the use of rainwater in public buildings in the Brazilian semi-arid region, integrating three aspects: environmental and economic feasibility, seasonality, and reliability. The results provide substantial evidence on the benefits of using rainwater, both from an environmental and an economic point of view. This use can significantly reduce the annual consumption of water from the public supply, which would reduce the demand from water bodies. It has also been found that there is considerable variation in the potable water savings potential throughout the year; the systems, however, still provide reliability.

“…This reduced the burden of urban drains Buildings that are equipped with stormwater tanks are common practice in capturing stormwater. These are reported in the past studies, for example, Araujo et al [15] had anticipated the significance of the rainwater harvesting tank within a building; Lestari et al [16] had illustrated the benefits of having an underground tank in a school complex; Sharma and Gardner [17] maintained that building codes in Australian had increased the installation of stormwater tanks across Australian cities.…”

“…The escalating urbanization has exacerbated the stormwater management difficulties, calling for creative and sustainable solutions (García-Haba et al, 2023). Sustainable urban drainage systems integrate social, environmental, and engineering factors as a comprehensive strategy to solve these flooding issues in the affected areas (Araujo et al, 2021). This review seeks to provide a complete overview of the evolution, current state, and future directions of SUDS research through a bibliometric lens (Attwa & Zamzam, 2020).…”

“…Urban development reduces the soil's ability to absorb rainfall, which sets water resources under high pressure, creates higher volumes of water run-off, and increases the relative risks of pluvial flooding (Araujo et al, 2021). This could make it possible to create urban areas that can challenge climate change and urbanization and complete multifunctional, sustainable, and flood mitigation for regulating water flow, which should be considered an essential aspect when designing a sustainable urban drainage system that can deliver ecosystem services to the urban environment and urban water management system (Galarza-Molina et al, 2017).…”

Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) are increasingly crucial for stormwater management. This bibliometric review analyses research trends on sustainable urban drainage systems over the past decade (2014- 2023) using data from Scopus. The analysis found 705 articles, 192 conference papers, 85 book chapters, and 64 reviews on sustainable urban drainage systems. Publication volume increased by 66% during the study period, indicating rising research interest. The most cited article (294 citations) was a 2019 review by Andrés-Doménech et al. on innovations in sustainable urban drainage systems. Analysis of author keywords revealed 8 clusters of research topics, with "sustainable urban drainage systems" being the dominant term with 889 keywords. Although general sustainable urban drainage system terms prevail, the use of keywords related to network visualization methods like VOS viewer is rapidly increasing. The United Kingdom published the most SUDS research (315 articles), followed by China (149), Spain (135), the United States (126), and Italy (107 articles). Research was concentrated in the environmental science and engineering fields. However, this bibliometric analysis provides insights into SUDS research trends, the most active countries and institutions, and emerging topic areas. The rapid increase in publications and use of network visualization techniques demonstrates SUDS' growing importance in urban stormwater management. The results can help inform future research directions, such as applying advanced data analytics to improve SUDS design and performance. Expanding bibliometric analyses with additional techniques like VOS viewer could further enhance understanding of this critical area of urban environmental research. Developing bibliometric methods and adding feature extraction algorithms when selecting features used to model data can increase the efficiency and accuracy of the data on sustainable urban drainage systems. The development of research data using Vos viewers images with this type of data processing research can also be maximized for research related to the sustainable urban drainage system.
