Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to
increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example …

Climate change and urbanization are converging to challenge city drainage infrastructure
due to their adverse impacts on precipitation extremes and the environment of urban areas …

Climate change has led to the increased intensity and frequency of extreme meteorological
events, threatening the drainage capacity in urban catchments and densely built-up cities …

Understanding the drivers behind urban floods is critical for reducing its devastating impacts
to human and society. This study investigates the impacts of recent urban development on …

The exposure of the Earth's surface to the energetic input of rainfall is one of the key factors
controlling water erosion. While water erosion is identified as the most serious cause of soil …

In recent years, the concept transition from fail-safe to safe-to-fail makes the application of
resilience analysis popular in urban drainage systems (UDSs) with various implications and …

This paper presents a review of trend analysis of extreme precipitation and hydrological
floods in Europe based on observations and future climate projections. The review …

To build future climate-proof water systems and to reduce the failure risk of infrastructure,
short-duration extreme precipitation design storms must be updated. However, a robust …

The effects of climate change are causing more frequent extreme rainfall events and an
increased risk of flooding in developed areas. Quantifying this increased risk is of critical …

The present work reviews the main challenges regarding adaptation of urban drainage
networks to climate change by comparing 32 case studies from 29 articles, published …
