A core framework of "mountain management-water management-moist city" for sponge city special planning: The case of northwestern China.

Sponge city special planning represents a basis for sponge city construction in China. It has a leading role in problem-oriented, effect-centered comprehensive, and coordinated construction. In accordance with the , China has gradually established a standardized method for formulating sponge city special planning based on the "four-water" framework.

Modelling and optimization of land use/land cover change in a developing urban catchment.

The impacts of land use/cover change (LUCC) on hydrological processes and water resources are mainly reflected in changes in runoff and pollutant variations. Low impact development (LID) technology is utilized as an effective strategy to control urban stormwater runoff and pollution in the urban catchment. In this study, the impact of LUCC on runoff and pollutants in an urbanizing catchment of Guang-Ming New District in Shenzhen, China, were quantified using a dynamic rainfall-runoff model with the EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM).
