TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the pressure loss coefficient upon the Reynolds number, the equivalent diameter ratio, the relative thickness, and the number and disposition of the holes is studied, and a comparison to different empirical equations, as available by the technical literature, and to the standard ISO 5167-2 single-hole orifice is also provided.

TL;DR: The present work describes a methodology to enhance the Nature Based Solutions implementation by facilitating the generation, acquisition and diffusion of different stakeholders' risk perceptions through the combination of Problem Structuring Methods for the elicitation of stakeholders'risk perceptions through individual Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, and Ambiguity Analysis for the investigation of differences in risk perceptions and problem framing.

TL;DR: An innovative methodology using a quasi-dynamic Fuzzy Cognitive Map approach based on multiple-time-steps was developed in order to assess NBS effectiveness, and to detect and analyze trade-offs among stakeholders due to differences in co-benefits perception.

TL;DR: The activities described in the present paper aim at developing a participatory System Dynamic Model capable to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of NBS to deal with flood risks, while producing a multiplicity of co-benefits.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the potential of nature-based solutions to deliver co-benefits while at the same time reducing the negative effects of water-related hazards in the case of the Ladegaardsaa urban river.
