Controlled studies have indicated that maturing green roofs may have improved water retention properties <ref>Simon De-Ville, Manoj Menon, Xiaodong Jia, George Reed, Virginia Stovin. 2017. The impact of green roof ageing on substrate characteristics and hydrological performance, In Journal of Hydrology, Volume 547, Pages 332-344, ISSN 0022-1694, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2017.02.006.</ref>.

The key hydrologic benefit which green roofs have over other forms of LID is the proportion of the water returned to the atmosphere through [[Evapotranspiration| evapotranspiration]].
