  bibo_abstract:
  - '<jats:p>In order to mitigate the negative effects of heavy rainfall events, natural
    water retention measures (NWRM)—such as hedges, erosion control strips, vegetated
    drainage channels, wooded strips, retention basins and ditch pockets—have gained
    renewed attention as an effective climate adaptation strategy. To identify potential
    areas for NWRM, this study applied and methodologically expanded an existing approach
    for identifying dominant runoff processes (DRPs) to an agricultural sub-catchment
    in the Weserbergland region of Germany. The DRP were determined using a Geographic
    Information System (GIS) and validated through field surveys. Potential areas
    for water retention within the same runoff process classes were identified for
    three defined objectives: improving infiltration, extending flow paths, and redirecting
    runoff to surrounding areas. Spatial differentiation was achieved using accumulated
    catchment area and overland flow distance. The watershed is predominantly characterized
    by surface runoff (Hortonian Overland Flow). Field validation confirmed the DRP
    classification for around two-thirds of the study area, with deviations occurring
    predominantly on arable land. Supplementing the DRP approach with a topographic
    analysis allowed for further differentiation, focusing on small, topographically
    defined sub-watersheds. The identified areas offer significant potential for interventions.
    Combined with supplementary data, analyses of the water network and the involvement
    of local stakeholders, the resulting potential map provides a solid basis for
    planning smaller-scale water retention measures.</jats:p>@eng'
