Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are widely advocated to have multiple benefits, including in flood risk reduction, water quality improvement and ecosystem health. There are, however, few empirical studies quantifying such multi-functionality. Given the ongoing pressures of flooding and poor water quality within Europe, there is an urgent need for empirical evidence to assess the potential for NbS features to address these issues.

Current urban challenges related to local urban flooding require effective preventive measures. This applies particularly to various methods of stormwater retention, including forced retention, and solutions that enable cooperation between small individual retention systems and drainage systems. Therefore, this study presents the results of research on the hydraulic efficiency of controllable systems, which combine the features of an on-site tank with the solutions of network tanks to increase the retention of stormwater in drainage systems.

Methods: For this purpose, a secondary data analysis of a multicenter cross-sectional study involving 780 Crack Cocaine Users from 6 Brazilian capitals was performed.
Women in jail report significantly higher rates of interpersonal violence, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and substance use disorders compared to the general population. Exposure to interpersonal violence is associated with PTSD and maladaptive behaviors such as substance use and engagement in risky behaviors. However, less is known about mechanisms, such as emotion regulation and trauma-coping self-efficacy, that might increase or decrease the likelihood of these maladaptive behavioral health outcomes in this population.
