Description

Extended abstract presented at ICUD 2024. Highlights:

  • We compared the hydrological performance of a green roof for “reference” and “leaf litter” scenarios.
  • Leaf litter (2 kg m-2) increased the overland flow volume and sped up its concentration time.
  • Initial soil moisture content and leaf litter influenced the green roof’s water balance components.
