Special issue on urban hydrological processes: implications of non-Hortonian overland flow for runoff management and infrastructure design
Managing urban runoff with infiltration-based and vegetated stormwater controls (i.e., “green infrastructure”) hinges on the assumption that runoff is generated by Hortonian overland flow across impervious surfaces. However, in some places, urban runoff is driven by subsurface processes. In these places, the use of green infrastructure may result in unanticipated or undesirable outcomes. It is challenging to predict these outcomes, however, since most urban hydrologic models are also built on the assumption of Hortonian overland flow. This leads to a number of pressing questions, such as: (1) how, and to what extent, interactions and feedbacks between green infrastructure and grey infrastructure (i.e., stormwater pipes) impact hydrologic partitioning and storage, and vegetation water use and productivity in urban areas; (2) whether (or when) such infrastructure induces a shift in dominant hydrologic processes in a catchment (i.e., hydrological regime shifts), which would further complicate planning and design of urban water infrastructure; and (3) how to simulate complex urban runoff processes under these dynamic conditions.
This Special Issue, “Urban hydrological processes: implications of non-Hortonian overland flow for runoff management and infrastructure design,” aims to advance our understanding of urban hydrological processes and their implications for management. This Special Issue builds on the comprehensive overview of urban drainage modeling presented in the 2019 Virtual Special Issue “Urban drainage modeling”, but focuses more specifically on topics related to hydrologic runoff mechanisms and implications for management. We invite studies that:
- Review the history of urban runoff management. For example, these studies could review historical understanding of urban hydrology or the development of management practices and design. They could critically appraise the importance, validity, and consequences of the prevailing assumption that runoff in urban areas is dominated by Hortonian overland flow.
- Illustrate the range of runoff mechanisms in urban areas. For example, these studies could address how urban runoff processes vary across geographies, environments, and societies (e.g., management paradigms). They could address methodological developments to construct robust urban water balances to trace flow pathways or reveal surface-groundwater interactions in urban settings.
- Advance process-based hydrologic modeling in urban areas. These studies could present methods capable of resolving the cumulative effects or interactions of different runoff processes.
- Explore the potential for urban hydrological “regime shifts.” These submissions may include case studies, modeling, or methodological development to understand how changing exogenous drivers or management choices alter urban catchment hydrologic partitioning, vegetation water use, and runoff mechanisms. Papers that advance the paradigm of urban hydrological processes by exploring regime shifts other than those caused by increasing impervious surface area would be particularly welcome.
