“…This can be seen from the literature, e.g., about biological invasions in Europe [17] and assessment of forest management strategies [18]. Regarding water problems, the DPSIR framework has been used for several purposes, with regard to sustainability evaluation in coastal areas [19], integrated catchment-coastal zone management [20,21], and urbanization and subsurface environmental issues [22]. Moreover, using the DPSIR framework together with other methodologies in identifying relevant pressures and impacts has been demonstrated to be a useful approach in assessing the risk of failing to meet the objectives of the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) [23].…”

Without monitoring anthropogenic pressures on the water environment, it is difficult to set realistic river restoration targets in relation to water quality. Therefore a more holistic approach is needed to systematically explore the links between socio-economic drivers and observed water quality-related impacts on river ecosystems. Using the DPSIR (Drivers-Pressures-State of the Environment-Impacts-Responses) framework, this study linked ecological river restoration with the socio-economic sector, with the focus on promoting a pressure-oriented water quality monitoring system. Based on the European Water Framework Directive (WFD) and relevant literature, it was found that most water quality-related indicators employed today are state/impacts-oriented, while very few are pressure-oriented. As a response, we call for more attention to a DPR (Drivers-Pressures-Responses) framework in developing an industrial ecology-based pressure-oriented water quality monitoring system for aiding ecological river restoration planning. This approach is characterized in general by accounting for material-related flows throughout the socio-economic sector in relation to river ecosystem degradation. Then the obtained information would help decision makers take appropriate measures to alleviate various significant human-induced wastes and emissions at their sources. We believe that such a pressure-oriented monitoring system will substantially complement traditional state/impacts-oriented environmental and ecological monitoring and help develop more proactive planning and decision-making processes for specific river restoration projects and general water quality management.

Land subsidence is recognized as a chronic hazard affecting urban flooding, especially in coastal/delta megacities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai, Taipei, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and New Orleans (Dixon et al 2006;IPCC 2007b;Syvitski et al 2009;Jago-on et al 2009). The underlying impacts of land subsidence on urban pluvial flood can be seen in the form of changes in runoff and flow patterns locally on the land surface.…”

This paper presents a numerical analysis of pluvial flooding to evaluate the impact of land subsidence on flood risks in urban contexts using a hydraulic model (FloodMap-HydroInundation2D). The pluvial flood event of August 2011 in Shanghai, China is used for model calibration and simulation. Evolving patterns of inundation (area and depth)are assessed over four time periods (1991, 1996, 2001 and 2011) for the downtown area, given local changes in topography and rates of land subsidence of up to 27 mm/yr. The results show that land subsidence can lead to non-linear response of flood characteristics. However, the impact on flood depths is generally minor (< 5cm) and limited to areas with lowest-lying topographies because of relatively uniform patterns of subsidence and micro-topographic variations at the local scale. Nonetheless, the modelling approach tested here may be applied to other cities where there are more marked rates of subsidence and/or greater heterogeneity in the depressed urban surface. In these cases, any identified hot-spots of subsidence and focusing of pluvial flooding may be targeted for adaptation interventions.
