Impact of seasonal variability of infiltration rates on the land area required for green infrastructure implementation
Dimensioning green infrastructure (GI) to achieve different stormwater targets (e.g., runoff volume reductions) is essential at city scale under conditions of limited resources and space. Traditional GI sizing criteria are based on the hydrology of moderate climates. However, cold climate conditions...

Dimensioning green infrastructure (GI) to achieve different stormwater targets (e.g., runoff volume reductions) is essential at city scale under conditions of limited resources and space.
