This becomes one of the key tasks of the stormwater management in urban areas considering the present and future conditions mainly driven by climate change and urban growth. A combination of local drainage systems and water retention in public spaces may provide an appropriate strategy to cope with these effects. This paper presents the implementation of a SUDS modelling approach in a semi-distributed hydrological model that enables the simulation of flow among multiple linked SUDS and retention spaces. The objectives of the implemented model are the representation of SUDS as model elements with water redistribution functionality as well as its possible integration into a flood risk management tool. The application of this model is presented for two case studies in Germany. The results show a high potential for SUDS and multipurpose spaces in flood mitigation management.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/AdaptationSUDShydrologic modellingflood modellingGeowissenschaftenIngenieurwissenschaftenLandschaftsgestaltung, RaumplanungConference Paper10.15480/882.344710.15480/882.3447Conference Paper
