Abstract Short-duration (1–3 h) rainfall extremes can cause serious damage to societies
through rapidly develo** (flash) flooding and are determined by complex, multifaceted …

The intensification of extreme events due climate change and sea-level rise are major
challenges to be urgently addressed by Europe's coastal cities. Coastal hazards have the …

In all cities and urban areas, the risk faced by people and assets from hazards associated
with climate change has increased (high confidence1). Urban areas are now home to 4.2 …

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 …

Air pollution has become a worldwide problem, which resulted in various environmental
threats to the human beings and surface ecosystem. It is thus significant to clarify the …

A large number of recent studies have aimed at understanding short-duration rainfall
extremes, due to their impacts on flash floods, landslides and debris flows and potential for …

Crowdsourcing is traditionally defined as obtaining data or information by enlisting the
services of a (potentially large) number of people. However, due to recent innovations, this …

Abstract Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves–sometimes also called precipitation
frequency estimates–are used to design urban drainage systems for stormwater control and …

Model predictive control (MPC) can be used to manage combined urban drainage systems
more efficiently for protection of human health and the environment, but examples of …

Flood estimation and flood management have traditionally been the domain of hydrologists,
water resources engineers and statisticians, and disciplinary approaches abound. Dominant …
