TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the effect of green roof drainage area on system performance in an urban climate and found that green roof flooding area has the greatest impact on peak runoff reduction, whereas rainfall retention and the time to peak runoff are not greatly influenced by drainage area.About:

A long-term hydrological modelling of an extensive green roof by means of SWMM
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the results of a monitoring activity of a full-scale extensive green roof in Bologna (Italy). Continuous weather data and runoff were collected between January and December 2014, resulting in 69 storm events suitable for the study.

Parameters influencing the regeneration of a green roof’s retention capacity via evapotranspiration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors monitor the drying cycle behavior of 9 different extensive green roof configurations with 80mm substrate depth. And they use a modeling approach, which factors Potential Evapotranspiration (PET) according to stored moisture content, predicts daily ET with very good accuracy (PBIAS = 2.0% [spring]; −0.8% [summer]).

Green roofs in temperate climate cities in Europe – An analysis of key decision factors
TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed design method was applied to identify relevant factors and to structure these along a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats framework for green roof adoption in cities of temperate climate in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of climate on the effectiveness of low impact development: A systematic review.
TL;DR: The results of weighted meta-analysis reveal a greater sensitivity of runoff volume to changing storm frequency thanpeak discharge rates, while the capacity of LID systems to reduce both volume and peak discharge rates diminishes with increasing storm intensity.

A closed-form equation for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils
van Genuchten,M. Th. +1 more
TL;DR: Van Genuchten et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a closed-form analytical expression for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated soils based on the Mualem theory, which can be used to predict the unsaturated hydraulic flow and mass transport in unsaturated zone.

A new model for predicting the hydraulic conductivity of unsaturated porous media
TL;DR: In this article, a simple analytic model is proposed which predicts the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity curves by using the moisture content-capillary head curve and the measured value of the hydraulic conductivities at saturation.
