Abstract
Urban floods result from the synergistic effect of elements of both natural and anthropic origin. Among them, the impacts of increasing impervious areas in surface runoff and peak flow during rainfall events are discussed in the scientific literature. In this chapter, we discuss, from the urban hydrology perspective, the hydrological responses that result from the urban spatial configuration and its influence on flood susceptibility. We approach the theoretical principles of urban space compartmentalization into Hydrological Similarity Areas (HSA) and its application in urban planning. We display an example of HSA delimitation and simulate their urban water balance in Belém catchment, Southern Brazil. The results reveal how the heterogeneity of urban spatial configuration influences the behavior of water balance parameters, where the increase in impervious areas increases runoff and decreases infiltration and evapotranspiration rates. In this chapter, we also discuss how nature-based solutions (SbN) applied in strategic areas (HSA) can reduce flood susceptibility and support sustainable urban development.
