The reviewer comments have been adequately addressed, however, upon another quick read of the paper, i think you can still improve on the overall English and structure as follows:

Please avoid 1 sentence paragraphs, the paper is full of 1 sentence paragraphs. For example, page 1, first paragraph of the introduction. Page 2 line 10, and many more. This makes the paper rather awkward to read. Paragraphs should be of roughly similar lengths, and covey 1 main idea. It really breaks the flow to have all of these very short 1 sentence paragraphs, in between much longer paragraphs.

The overall English can still be further improved, For example:

Page 1, line 10, change to “thus amplifying urban flooding and the urban heat….”

Page 1, line 15, change to “taking place in the urban subsoil”

Page 1, line 21, delete “definitely”

Please note that I have not read your revised manuscript in detail, and the above are just examples. Please re-read the entire manuscript and try to improve further where you can.

I ask for one last effort to improve the manuscript further, after which it will be accepted for publication in GMD and sent for typesetting.

Congratulations and kind regards,
