LID effectiveness improves incrementally with higher implementation percentages on impervious areas, and it declines with higher building density.
Building density adversely impacts LID efficiency more than climate change does, emphasizing the importance of density management.
SWMM5 was utilized as the hydrologic-hydraulic model, analyzing climate data across different scenarios for the period of 1961–1990.
Study findings support urban planners and governments in enhancing water management strategies to adapt to climate-linked urban pressures.
