Singapore Water Budget: The Past, the Present, and the Future

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Urbanization and climate change profoundly impact hydrological processes and the associated water budget, challenging sustainable water management. In this study, we use a distributed mechanistic ecohydrological model adapted for urban environments to quantify changes in the hydrological budget components in response to urbanization, as well ...

Quantifying the urban heat island (UHI) intensity in Hong Kong

, 2012
The definition and quantification of urban heat island (UHI), the air temperature differences between urban and rural areas, remains problematic. This is due, in large part, to the difficulty of operationalizing the terms “urban” and “rural”, especially with regard to classifying the weather stations that provide data.

Urban heat island (UHI) influence on secondary pollutant formation in a tropical humid environment [PDF]

Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association, 2017
The combined action of urbanization (change in land use) and increase in vehicular emissions intensifies the urban heat island (UHI) effect in many cities in the developed countries. The urban warming (UHI) enhances heat-stress-related diseases and ozone (O3) levels due to a photochemical reaction.
