Both reviewers are rather positive on your study; however they both argue the motivation of your study and especially the need for urban irrigation. I agree with your proposal and looking forward to see it implemented. In addition, I would like to advise to move all topics that do not follow 1:1 from the study, but are worth mentioning, to move them to a discussion section.

Furthermore, I request you to follow the data policy of HESS. The current data statement ("The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request.") is not compliant. Data should be made publicly available unless there is a clear detailed explanation why this is not possible.
