Description Water spraying for cooling purposes can be implemented in various ways, such as through the use of sprinkler systems in parks, misting systems in outdoor recreational areas, or even water curtains along building facades. These methods are often used in urban areas to mitigate the urban heat island effect and provide relief during hot weather events.


In this thesis you will learn how to apply water spraying and other water-based solutions in a micro-scale urban hydrometeorological model (ENVI-met) in order to improve hydrometeorological conditions in selected city.
