Balancing Climate Adaptation and Urban Water Demand in Dutch Cities 1: TU Delft, Netherlands, The; 2: 2Partners4urbanwater, Nijmegen, Graafseweg 274, 6532 ZV, the Netherlands; 3: Waternet, Research and Innovation, Korte Ouderkerkerdijk 7, 1096 AC Amsterdam, the Netherlands Blue Green Infrastructure (BGI) is widely implemented as an adaptive stormwater management strategy to reduce flood risks in urban areas. However, increasing greenery in cities raises water demand during prolonged droughts due to higher evaporation rates. This study examines the impact of commonly used BGI types on both private and public domains at the city scale under future climate projections in the Netherlands. Using Rotterdam and Eindhoven as case studies, we explore their urban transitions guidelines and policies in the context of climate change. Based on this, we introduce several scenarios to test the impact of intensifying greenery on the urban water balance across diverse urban settings. The aim is to identify the most effective BGI implementation strategies and determine optimal locations for water harvesting at the city scale to ensure sufficient water availability for the viability of urban greenery. | |
