Climate change makes heavy rain heavier. Cities can add green spaces, which let rain soak into the ground. This study asks a fair question: who does that protect? The question — Logroño is a city in northern Spain. When a lot of rain falls in a short time, streets can flood: pluvial flooding, caused by rain, not by a river. Does heavier future rain put more people at risk? Do the planned green measures help? And when the city goes green, who is protected? The test — Scientists used flood maps from a computer model. For every home building they combined how deep the water gets nearby, how many people live there, and how vulnerable they are — for example young children or older people living alone. A '100-year storm' comes on average once in 100 years; storms from every 2 to every 200 years were tested. The result — Heavier future rain puts more people at risk in every case tested. The planned green measures help only a little, and not at all for the biggest storms. Turning all open space green helps more — roughly one in ten to one in five of the people at risk become safe — but mostly the less vulnerable. The most vulnerable fifth benefits least. The lesson: how science checks itself — The method was first rebuilt independently with open tools, and every building got the same risk class. The flood maps matched places that really flooded, but that only partly confirmed the method. Every result comes from one model with large uncertainties (no sewers; nobody knows exactly how much heavier rain will get), so scientists trust the direction of a result more than its exact number. Being fair is part of the science: a good plan asks not only how much it helps, but whom. https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/schools https://schema.org/about https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RALq-EHWcx22c8cqC7G1E94H95CT9Upq7f3ZqbvslVuog https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/schools https://schema.org/audience https://w3id.org/sciencelive/o/terms/audience/secondary-13-16 https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/provenance https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#generatedAtTime 2026-10-11T16:35:57.986053+00:00 https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/assertion http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://w3id.org/np/RAIA9ECaN2ypOVvl4YeNjT6nbpwko9xMcctxB_uYscLG4/claude-ai-agent https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/pubinfo https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4 http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label Plain-language summary of https://w3id.org/sciencelive/np/RALq-EHWcx22c8cqC7G1E94H95CT9Upq7f3ZqbvslVuog for schools https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#generatedAtTime 2026-10-11T16:35:57.986053+00:00 https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4 http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#wasAttributedTo https://w3id.org/np/RAIA9ECaN2ypOVvl4YeNjT6nbpwko9xMcctxB_uYscLG4/claude-ai-agent https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4 https://w3id.org/np/o/ntemplate/wasCreatedFromTemplate https://w3id.org/np/RAWy6z_pULiaGYdk0GFQMxtnOog1KZRCkR9ywqX0YF84M https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasAlgorithm RSA https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasPublicKey MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAyuQ7Hi/zQ7hDZtMtLWK1JKU83Kgo8NqC+b8sxD5IoiekPctXVA8iM0zD/9pcp1txGXjX/fUj5HRUkOn4RVHP3fFa/3irQYpZFQ5fHRj8MQ7kJ6AEd1oggfajDevZGz63hj6Vigo+BNYBXqhcbWVAfLfbzQPAegce9zH6n9vTqKYMrwrSxPQdhoAcoaKOqY8gRiJgzekeEr+iEqa63X1HwWtYDs7X25a9xWbgaDSsRjzZGVUVOn1vYdSfWAaIw+EB9CiJfKm1zuXcur5PDziMW1pnZG6/NQtrA7AM3gLnoSoU3glkm5UhksGNqu2SV+j8oZLg7v6C5/sg2f6LIJMeFwIDAQAB https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignature aROPgy/nuK6utbVWGmgsWVmUzi4yl9YiRtCL/dT6neNagtRitoW3oQNfCgK5tqUZlh93+h5jeRPL8UNzYQCnRIbtZCwD36Cotw779uvZRBXdN0Qu9BkBOa+qBOpd78zEkcMh6M6GBOPW4zqILOybnsHZGck+wGmtQdYKY230wb4EKbvGcqunL4xxICawPqBhs4E3WvtthDJ/iDardhbWUQ1cd5tn4gnskFQHcb8n2tBlV6YEhOCmgtbFbqd9X2RylHpnNzm5pH2oq9YlzF6aNoeAaHXeelGnXCTv2SO03LEY/uTKiQJAJownHADwdVm+HDGb0/TlkAjU9o0d8od0UA== https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/hasSignatureTarget https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4 https://w3id.org/np/RApNOm7iJ8fZrFH33FTIyMHwUwlpHmR4onxWghO6KCcn4/sig http://purl.org/nanopub/x/signedBy https://w3id.org/np/RAIA9ECaN2ypOVvl4YeNjT6nbpwko9xMcctxB_uYscLG4/claude-ai-agent
