Summary: The increased risks of storm flood occurrence in large cities are the resultants of land use changes due to rapid urbanization. This study examines the influence of land-use changes in Khulna City Corporation (KCC) area on surface runoff over a period of 14 years, from 2005 to 2020. The results may serve as a guide for urban storm flood management and urban planning efforts in fast-growing cities and developing nations.

Summary: A computationally efficient, raster-based and spatially-explicit RR-model was conceptualized to address the limitations of spatially distributed hydrological models for iterative spatial optimization analyses. Through implementation of AMC correction and re-infiltration, several model configurations achieved adequate performances for such analyses, with the most effective configuration showing promising results in three catchments.

Summary: Ethiopia's urban land lease policy aims to facilitate the transfer of land for various purposes. However, there is little knowledge about its effectiveness in promoting sustainable urban land use. This paper examines the effects of the lease policies on urban land use efficiency through remote sensing data and analysis of satellite imagery. The study findings reveal low urban land use efficiency, indicating the ineffectiveness of existing land institutions.

Summary: This study aims to develop an applicable methodology for producing a functional land-use map using free and open-source data. The three-stage framework was implemented, yielding a good overall accuracy of 78.70%. The mismatch between data-driven approach and human knowledge was identified, suggesting improvement through ontology-based fusion with OSM data.

Summary: This study provides the most recent analysis of land use and land cover change in Coatzacoalcos, Mexico over the past six years. The study utilized remote sensing technology and ground-based surveys to analyze the changes. The findings indicate a slowdown in growth for residential, industry, and commercial areas, as well as significant degradation of swamps. Dunes and areas with high vegetation density transitioned to low vegetation density areas.

Summary: This study extends the proportionality concept of the SCS-CN method to flood routing, showing its similarities to the Muskingum routing method. The results demonstrate the efficacy and versatility of the SCS-CN concept when applied to different flood events in terms of overall hydrograph evaluation.

Summary: This study summarizes the impact of land use and cover change (LUCC) on hydrological processes. Remote sensing technology provides continuous spatial data on land cover and hydrological variables. The effects of LUCC on hydrological processes can be evaluated using correlation analysis, multiple regression methods, experimental watershed approaches, and trajectory-based approaches. However, quantitatively separating the actual components of the influence of LUCC is challenging due to the complexity of geographical systems.

Summary: A hybrid approach was used in this study to improve the predictive efficiency of the SCS-CN model, resulting in the development of a new outcome-based hybrid model (M-iv). The performance of this model was compared with other models using statistical error indices and a ranking and grading system. The results showed that the M-iv model had the best performance among all tested watersheds and consistently performed well for all sizes of watersheds.

Summary: Changes in land use have a significant impact on surface runoff, with urbanization processes leading to increased runoff. However, the influence of land use changes on surface runoff decreases with higher rainfall intensity. High rainfall runoff value areas show a trend of simplified land type structures, while low runoff-producing areas are mainly located in southern forests, grasslands, and southeast high mountain areas.

Summary: This study utilized SCS-CN and GIS techniques to investigate the changes in land-use and land-cover in the urban Koraiyar basin in Tiruchirappalli city, South India. Analysis of multi-dated Landsat satellite images from 1986 to 2016 showed a continuous increase in settlement area of 1.04%, along with the impact of land-use changes on surface runoff.

Summary: The need for water conservation is increasing as water resources become scarcer. Estimating watershed runoff is crucial for managing this resource. Urbanization and increased impermeability of land surfaces have led to greater surface runoff depths.

Summary: This study examined land-use land cover changes at the IIT Bombay campus in India between 2000 and 2018 using GIS. The results showed that despite an increase in built-up area, the forest cover and Powai lake remained unaffected, attributed to a decline in barren land area. By implementing appropriate measures, the campus demonstrated sustainability and effectively managed surface runoff despite significant alterations in land use and cover.

Summary: This study examined the interaction between land use/land cover (LULC) and climate change in the derived savannah of Nigeria. Using remote sensing and GIS tools, the study found significant increases in urban area, waterbodies, woodlands, and farmlands, while forest cover declined between 1972 and 2019. Predictions also suggest further reductions in forested areas in the future.

Summary: In this study, the GIS-based NRCS-CN model is used to assess rainfall-induced runoff by analyzing various hydrological parameters. The higher runoff rate is found in the north and north-eastern parts of the swift surficial terrains due to intensive flow through short-length stream orders. This study is mainly used for understanding hydro-morphological processes and their impacts on basin environments.

Summary: Through the use of unmanned aerial systems and in situ observations, this study investigates the impact of urban heat island effect on lake water temperature, revealing that different land cover types and meteorological factors can cause variations in surface temperature, leading to different effects on water temperature, such as the phenomenon of lake surface temperature decreasing before and then increasing after rainfall.
