Urbanization increases the number of impervious surfaces in watersheds, reducing infiltration and evapotranspiration, which runoff volumes risks flooding pollution water resources. Nature-based solutions (NBS) mitigate these effects by managing volume quality, restoring hydrological cycle, creating sustainable livelihoods that can promote socioeconomic equity providing green space. In light aforementioned information, this study analyzes response NBS La Guapil, a densely populated socioeconomically vulnerable area Costa Rica with approximately 80% surfaces, focusing on their effectiveness stormwater management improving conditions. Field data from area’s storm drainage system, as well analyses, were collected processed to evaluate RCP8.5 climate change scenarios using Clausius–Clapeyron (CC) relationship. Three proposed: (1) “status quo”, reflecting current conditions, (2) roofs improvements, (3) detention ponds evaluated SWMM, latter scenario also Iber model. Simulations showed Scenario 2 achieved greatest reduction peak flow (53.74%) (57.60%) compared 3 (peak: 28.37%; volume: 56.42%). Both demonstrate resilience projections. The results provide foundation for further research into other comparable regions.
