Abstract This research paper focuses on implementing two Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in the Sarantapotamos river basin upstream of Magoula settlement, evaluating their effectiveness through flood hydrograph calculations before and after NBS, under future climate scenarios, encompassing lower, mean, upper conditions representing ± 95%. The study area covers an 226 km 2 Attica, Greece, susceptible to extreme events. contributes NBS knowledge, emphasizing resilience protecting settlements downstream. Land cover change retention ponds, applied individually combined, serve as approaches. Flood hydrographs are calculated using time–area (TA) diagram method a geographic information system (GIS) with Hydrological Engineering Center’s Modeling System (HEC-HMS).

These climate‐resilient strategies to maintain biodiversity delivery ecosystem services, contributing adaptation social‐ecological mitigation climate‐related impacts. However, effectiveness measures like marine restoration or conservation is not exempt change, degree which they can sustain services remains unknown. Such uncertainty, together with slow pace implementation, causes decision‐makers societies demand a better understanding NBS effects.

ABSTRACT Natural flood management (NFM) has gained prominence as a risk approach in temperate settings but lacks extensive applied examples and evidence tropical settings, despite significant ecosystem degradation high exposure. Tropical river catchments often experience highly variable hydrographs (i.e., prone to flash floods) intense rainfall from monsoon typhoon‐dominated weather systems that can cause landslides sediment‐transporting flows. These conditions provide backdrop the prospects for NFM Southeast Asia, of which Philippines is representative. Catchments country are typically small thus associated with short hydrological response times. They also characterized by diversity types, rates lateral mobility, downstream urbanization, complex land use mosaics at coast. Consideration conceptual framework may enable conversations about adapting existing approaches. To explore these alternatives, we conceptualize opportunities typical catchment divide into four nested, connected parts: managing headwaters sponges; conserving restoring floodplain width; blue‐green infrastructure urban areas; maintaining creating space water fluvial‐coastal settings. There potential countries such adopt strategies have shown promise regions select Asian countries, where emerging supports their effectiveness. Monitoring interventions remains crucial gather supporting broader application nature‐based solutions mitigation biodiversity loss Asia.

Le’an Town, located in the southwest of Qingchuan County, Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, boasts a unique geographical position. The town’s terrain is complex, and its geological environment fragile. Multiple phases tectonic movements have resulted numerous cracks faults, making area prone to landslides, debris flows, other disasters. Additionally, heavy rainfall fluctuating groundwater levels further exacerbate instability mountains. Human activities, such as overdevelopment deforestation, significantly increased risk Currently, methods for landslide prediction Town are limited; traditional techniques cannot provide precise forecasts, study largely covered by tall vegetation. Therefore, this paper proposes method that combines SBAS-InSAR technology with dynamic changes land use hydrological conditions. used obtain surface deformation information, while land-use condition data incorporated analyze characteristics potential influencing factors areas. innovation lies high-precision monitoring capability integration multi-source data, which can more comprehensively reveal environmental area, thereby achieving accurate predictions development. results indicate annual subsidence rate most areas ranges from −10 0 mm, indicating slow subsidence. In some areas, exceeds −50 mm per year, showing significant slope aspect differences, reflecting combined effects structures, climatic conditions, human activities. It evident conditions impact on occurrence development landslides. utilizing cross-verifying it techniques, consistency identified be enhanced, improving results. This provides scientific basis early warning disasters has important practical application value.
