Moreover, the text is clear and properly drafted and it is very well structured. In fact, it presents a very good theoretical framework, based on world class references and complemented with several updated references.Ĭonsequently, it seems to me that this work presents high quality. This is not a negative aspect, mainly because of the significant effort to integrate in this analysis/revision valuable contributions and references. Although addressing a very pertinent and up-to-date topic, and promoting an evaluation of the proposed techniques, it is supported by a revision of references. The submitted manuscript constitutes essentially a revision paper. We hope that this table complies with the reviewer's suggestion.Īuthor Response File: Author Response.docx We added Table 3 summarizing the papers that studied RTC and NBS systems, pointing to the study approach, the parameters evaluated (through the column performance criteria) and the type of forecast used in the study. Response: The authors agree with the reviewer and are grateful for the suggestion. In the introduction section we have modified the text to include a discussion about the existence of relevant studies about the joint use of NBS with RTC for different purposes and application scales, working as a passive control, and highlighting the opportunity of new studies that approach the active control (line 75 – 82). All the papers suggest are of high quality and helped to improve the overview about how RTC can be integrated with NBS in different application scales. Response: The authors appreciate the comment of the reviewer and all the papers suggested to incorporate in the literature review. We are glad to have the opportunity to contribute in developing RTC strategies to NBS and urban drainage. We have incorporated all the suggestions in the new version of the text. Response: The authors appreciate the comments of the reviewer very much, and we would like to thank the reviewer for the time spent in our manuscript. Moreover to increase the quality of the manuscript, this reviewer suggests to add some graphs or table to summarize the studies considered in the manuscript in terms of main objectives and results. Enhancing stormwater control measures using real-time control technology: a review.

Real Time Control of Rainwater Harvesting Systems: The Benefits of Increasing Rainfall Forecast Window. On the Use of a Real-Time Control Approach for Urban Stormwater Management. Combined Application of Real-Time Control and Green Technologies to Urban Drainage Systems.

Piro P., et al., (2019) A Comprehensive Approach to Stormwater Management Problems in the Next Generation Drainage Networks.In this regards, this reviewer would sugget to the authors some intersting studies, not yet considered, that take into account the RTC strategy applied to urban drainage system and other ones that considers the integration of LID-NBS solutions with RTC strategies: Moreover, they state that 'there are only few studies on the application of the two techniques together'.

Some minor suggestions are below discussed.īased on introduction section, the authors considers the LID solution and RTC strategy first alone and then they discuss about the possibility to considered them togheter. The paper, in line with the aims of the journal, needs to be improved before to be accepted for publication. The manuscript 'Nature-based solutions and Real-time control: challenges and opportunities' is an interesting review paper that discuss about the possibility to increase the NBS (LID in general) efficiency combining with RTC strategies.
