Hieronder vind je het wetenschappelijke artikel dat is gepresenteerd door Harro Jongen (WUR) tijdens de Conferentie Reinventing the City 2022, georganiseerd door AMS Institute. Het eerste deel van het abstract is als volgt:
"Water storage plays an important role in mitigating heat and flooding in urban areas. Assessment of the water storage capacity of cities remains challenging due to the inherent heterogeneity of the urban surface. Traditionally, effective storage has been estimated from runoff. Here, we present a novel approach to estimate effective water storage capacity from recession rates of observed evaporation during precipitation-free periods."
