| Abstract | In the current growth of urbanization, problems especially anthropogenic heat emissions are emerging. Urban Heat Islands (UHI) are one of the major causes of environmental problem and it exacerbates the cities' living environment heat conditions critical to human health. Various factors affect the urban thermal environment, which is closely linked with UHI as well as the outdoor thermal comfort. These factors include buildings density, urban landscaping and water bodies. Water bodies are one of the significant components of the core surface. Water influence the urban thermal environment of the surrounding through its cooling effect, either through evaporation or heat transfer between the air and water. This review paper comprehends the factors that facilitate the water bodies cooling effect in order to achieve urban cooling island to mitigate UHI. |
