This is what ET stands for.

This is the name for when urban air temperatures increase compared to their rural surroundings.

When urbanization results in a flashier hydrograph, more nutrients and contaminants, altered channel morphology and stability, and reduced biotic richness.

This is how the rainfall runoff response is changed by a green roof.

The 'Actors' in the iSAW framework can be split up into these two distinct but related conceptual categories.

This is another word commonly used to say, 'human-caused.'

If this is high, it keeps the surface cooler (snow generally has the highest value).

The measure is correlated with decreased fine material and coarser bed material in urban streams.

These aim to control runoff quantity, address water quality problems, and provide amenity value.

These are two broad categories of factors which determine the water use landscape of cities.

This is the sum of deep subsurface flow and delayed shallow subsurface flow, and maintains stream discharge between runoff and storm events.

This can create an 'oasis' in the day and a heat island at night, with an overall cooling effect.

It stabilizes stream banks as it accumulates, and there is more of it when there is more vegetation in the riparian zone.

This is reached when the substrate can hold no more water and runoff occurs.

This is impacted by irrigation, urban vegetation, water pricing, water metering, and water monitoring.

This is what we call a surface through which water cannot flow, and instead flows horizontally across.

This can make a heat island of up to 2-3ºC (day and night).

This is how baseflow is altered through the combination of conventional drainage (or low-impact design), frequent flow retention, volume reduction, and balanced, infiltrated groundwater/pipe baseflows.

This is the function that a green roof is performing that would normally be done by the forest or vegetative canopy, facilitating evapotranspiration.

Adaptive management, optimizing tradeoffs of ecosystem services and costs, monitoring and validation, equity and environmental justice are all examples of these.

This is the ratio of Sensible Heat (H) to Latent Heat (λE) fluxes; it ranges from 0.1 ('oceans') to 10 ('desert'), with 'urban areas' usually coming in at around 5.

When ET is increased by the UHI, and the UHI also increases ET demand, we call it this.

Increased algae biomass, fewer sensitive/more disturbance-tolerant macroinvertebrate/fish species, and the decreased abundance of the platypus in urban sites are examples of changes in this as part of the Urban Stream Syndrome.

There are few of this type of roof in residential areas, and many in commercial areas, resulting in the greatest potential for green roof impact on TIA being in commercial areas.

These are the three core components of the iSAW framework.
