    Abstract Disorganized urban growth, deforestation, and the occupation of floodplains and riverside areas significantly alter land-use patterns and social and environmental wellbeing. This work aims to present the analysis of the feasibility of the proposal for the implementation of a Payment for Environmental Services (PES) project for flood control. It is related to the recovery and conservation of areas of environmental interest in a hydrographic basin and considering the river channel as a reference and its buffer areas. For the implementation of a PES project aiming at the reduction of floods downstream through the recovery of riparian forests, including their subsequent maintenance, this work proposes a flowchart of the applicable steps, develops a formulation for the definition of payment for the service, and defines a set of measures necessary for its management. Through a case study, it was possible to simulate different scenarios for different recurrence time (RT) in the study area, and thus assess the damage caused by these different events. The innovation of this work comes from the use of PES for the control of floods, with the use of an integral formula to calculate the costs of PES and to evaluate the expected damages. The application of the Poisson distribution was used to estimate the losses for different RT events expected in 50 years, estimating the losses overtime for the scenario with the implementation of the PES project and without it. The damage when reduced or avoided becomes a useful resource for the establishment of other public policies.

    Abstract The river restoration approach brought several contributions to river basin management offering different river assessment tools, proposing quantitative methods and aggregated indexes with the aim of defining an environmental river status. However, many of the existing classification systems still use only the water quality as reference or, when considering a more complete framework, they are not easily applicable by river managers. Considering this fact, this work presents the River Classification Index (RCI), which offers a simple, fast and broad view of the environmental status of a river and can be combined with physical-chemical-biological parameters. The RCI aims to quantify the environmental quality of a watershed and support planning strategies. It is composed by the weighted product of two indicators representing the river connectivities and riverbank conditions, both normalized into a common scale between 0 and 1. Different weights can reproduce different perceptions of decision makers. The RCI was applied in two case studies, one in a heavily modified river basin, the other in a reasonably well preserved river basin, assessing the current situation and prospecting future alternative scenarios. Both watersheds are subjected to urban development and threatened by land use modifications. The obtained results were coherent with the conceptual expectations. The future scenarios considering the river restoration approach provided the best results, while the unplanned and unconscious urban growth proved to be hazardous.

    Abstract Fast urban growth and climate change have intensified water-related challenges, especially in large cities considering their scale and complexity. The purpose of this work is to pose the key role of Integrated Water Resource Management for a city's sustainable development, aiming to improve social, economic, and environmental conditions. To reach this goal, the Greater Rio de Janeiro (GRJ), in Brazil, will be used as an exploratory case study to support the discussion about proposing a cause-consequence framework. The GRJ has 13.1 million inhabitants and suffers from uneven distribution of goods, services, and infrastructure throughout its territory. The method includes 1. Apply the City Blueprint Approach (CBA) to assess the current IWRM of the GRJ; 2. Compare the results with the sanitation main findings identified in the Strategic Integrated Urban Development Plan (PEDUI) of the GRJ; 3. Given the similarity of the CBA outcomes and the PEDUI sanitation diagnosis, the City Blueprint Framework is subsequently applied to assess the behavior of GRJ in 2040. By comparing the current and future GRJ's IWRM status, a cause-consequence framework is built, highlighting the potentials and opportunities of a sanitation improvement cycle that intends to balance social inequalities towards a better quality of life in developing cities.

    Abstract This work aims to demonstrate the importance of concretely defining blue-green infrastructure (BGI) in non-consolidated urban areas as an active element to achieve integrated risk management and strategic spatial planning guidelines to structure future urban development. BGI is seen as a city's structuring element more than an element integrated into a city. For this, a method is proposed and a demonstration of its application is conducted for the city of Paraty, in Brazil. It starts with a diagnosis of the current situation, maps the conflicts experienced by the city regarding water dynamics, and establishes cause-effect relations. Then, the past reference situation and the future trend situation are evaluated, and, with lessons learned, a future urban occupation alternative is defined, using BGI and river restoration approaches. Finally, the two future situations are compared in terms of environmental enhancement. The analyses are supported by mathematical modelling and a multicriteria index (Urban River Restoration Index). The results indicate that the future trend situation worsens flood risks, while the BGI proposal reduces them, besides improving the watersheds environmental quality and setting strategic spatial planning guidelines. Thus, understanding the role of water in a city is crucial to define a BGI approach focused on delivering urban water management solutions and strategically structuring future urban development, being the water a structural part of the city itself.

    Abstract The urbanization process heavily changes the natural landscape, increasing built areas and impervious rates, consequently aggravating floods and suffering from the co-related degradation. Recent initiatives regarding sustainable drainage and river restoration seek a compromise solution between cities and nature. In this context, this research examines a possible analytical framework for urban planning and design of flood control alternatives, using a multifunctional open space system that incorporates water dynamics into current and future urban solutions. This framework starts with a diagnosis of the current situation, analyzing three main aspects: urban floods and their consequences; urban plans and legal environmental constraints; and available open spaces and multifunctional opportunities. Then, a set of guidelines is proposed to articulate urban needs with environmental limits, intending to help in the design of urban flood control alternatives, while increasing environmental value and retrofitting urban vicinity. These guidelines include multi-scale solutions in the watershed context, using sustainable urban drainage concepts in multifunctional open spaces, which can also act as environmental connections and protective fluvial parks. Next, the current situation is taken as reference and a hydrodynamic mathematical model is used to map the behavior of possible scenarios developed to represent future conditions driven by the proposed guidelines. This proposal is applied in an exploratory case study in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region to validate the proposed premises. The obtained results show that a multifunctional open space system, supported by an orderly and sustainable land use, was able to reduce significantly the water levels in the main river, diminishing flooded areas and responding in a more resilient and less risky way.

    Abstract River restoration is a strategy for controlling floods and restoring fluvial environmental quality. Urban river restoration is a challenge and involves a complex discussion, which needs to focus on the whole watershed and to recognize practical limits for restoration, balancing nature and city needs as much as possible. In this context, aiming to provide a practical tool to assess environmental effects in the flood control design process, the Urban River Restoration Index (URRIx) is proposed to quantify the effects of design alternatives, considering river restoration concepts in an urban watershed, giving an objective measure to help in decision making. Additionally, the URRIx can also be used to continuously monitor the river restoration successfulness over time, after a design alternative is implemented. The URRIx presents a multi-criteria formulation and ranges between 0 (the most negative result) and 1 (the most positive). A case study in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area (Brazil) was conducted to exemplify this discussion. The URRIx was applied to assess urban river improvement, through an integrated evaluation of flood reduction, urban revitalization, and river improvement. Outputs present a relevant space for considering urban river restoration - under given constraints - as a viable and valuable approach even in complex and fragile contexts.

    Abstract Urban growth usually triggers environmental imbalances. When the supporting capacity of the watersheds is surpassed, both the natural and the built environment degrade in a negative cycle. In this context, integrating a sustainable urban drainage approach with river restoration concepts, this work proposes a set of guidelines composing a framework to support the urban growth process in lowlands of coastal cities, combining social and natural demands, and improving city resilience to floods. Different tools including mathematical modeling and multi-criteria indexes were combined in this framework and then tested in an exploratory case study in the Vargem Grande district, an expanding coastal area in the west zone of Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. A computational hydrodynamic model –called Urban Flow-Cell Model has been used to provide information on impacts generated by the changes of the urban configuration in the region of interest. The Flood Risk Index and the Urban River Restoration Index were applied to assess risk and estimate environmental restoration effects quantitatively. The results for the applied framework show that sustainable drainage concepts in combination with river restoration measures can support the expansion of the city, meeting social and environmental demands. The expanding area considered in the case study could grow safely when oriented by the proposed framework, while the flooding results could be dramatic worsened in an uncontrolled development.
