Water retention efficiency of green roof systems
Flash floods in urban areas caused by overload of drainage networks are a recurrent problem with negative impacts of raising importance. Green roofs retain part of the storm water, lowering surface flow and generating runoff hydrographs with lower and delayed peak flows. Therefore, this technology c...

Flash floods in urban areas caused by overload of drainage networks are a recurrent problem with negative impacts of raising importance. Green roofs retain part of the storm water, lowering surface flow and generating runoff hydrographs with lower and delayed peak flows.
