Aumento de las inundaciones en las zonas urbanas debido al cambio climático.

Abstract

Nature-based solutions against flooding, based on sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) is an innovative way to counter the consequences of flooding in urban areas; through techniques, methods and sciences that seek to collect most of the rain in natural storage, seeking that the water filters through the ground and does not evacuate to urban areas. These SUDS provide benefits to communities from preventing flooding to improving water quality, making it cleaner and healthier for all beings and habitats. Nature-based systems for urban drainage are sustainable and economical unlike conventional systems; maintenance is less frequent and costs are reduced due to its operation. These green spaces provide extra services to the planet in general, contributing to the reduction of the ecological footprint and all the benefits that this entails.
