Short summary
Our study builds a 2-D model at an urbanized watershed, and the results indicate that permeable pavement and green roofs are good strategies for urban inundation mitigation. What is more, we also find the best combination of permeable pavement and green roofs for local areas, considering both effectiveness and cost. This study enriches the inundation mitigation research on an urban watershed scale and provides some references to urban storm water management and inundation mitigation.
