This research aims to simulate urban flooding and evaluate the mitigating effects of LID facilities. By integrating multi-source data, we adopt the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) model to simulate the distribution of flood under various scenarios. To delve deeper into the mitigating effects of LID facilities, we incorporate their absorption and treatment capabilities into the SCS model, resulting in the development of the SCS-L model. Suitability analysis dictates the category of LID facilities to be constructed, and their effects on flood are quantitatively assessed. Findings emphasize that enhancing the effectiveness of LID facilities significantly contributes to preventing shallow inundation. While it also exhibits positive effects on deep inundation, there are inherent constraints. Expanding the deployment area of LID facilities can effectively diminish the inundation area, but the effects increase nonlinearly. Strategically designed layouts for LID facilities can optimize their mitigating impacts on both inundation area and depth. This research underscores the essential role of LID facilities in mitigating urban flood disasters. The conclusion of this paper provides support for the construction of resilient cities. urban resilience low impact development disaster simulation sustainable development Full Text Cite Share Download PDF Status: Published Journal Publication published 24 Feb, 2026 Read the published version in Natural Hazards → Version 1 posted Reviewers agreed at journal 27 Jan, 2025 Reviewers invited by journal 13 Nov, 2024 Editor invited by journal 12 Nov, 2024 Editor assigned by journal 01 Nov, 2024 First submitted to journal 31 Oct, 2024 You are reading this latest preprint version Research Square lets you share your work early, gain feedback from the community, and start making changes to your manuscript prior to peer review in a journal.
