Bilan hydrique des toitures végétalisées: vers de meilleures compréhension et modélisation Water balance of green roofs: contributions to better understanding and simulation

Urban Farm DB summary

This preliminary study aimed to better understand the water balance of vegetated or green roofs (TTV) and to develop a conceptual reservoir storage model. Two databases were used: CSTB's one-year data (limited to rain and runoff) and LROP's nine-day detailed data (including evapotranspiration and water storage). Detailed monitoring was shown to deepen the understanding of water balance, and the developed reservoir storage model appeared suitable for reproducing the TTV water balance.
