This paper presents an overview on the risk assessment approaches for inundation of metro
systems based on regional flood risk assessment methods. Detailed summarization is …

In recent years, the conceptual detail of hydrological models has dramatically increased as a
result of improved computational techniques and the availability of spatially-distributed …

As a result of climate change, urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to flooding, which can
cause devastating effects, both in terms of loss of life and property. Therefore, an accurate …

This new edition of a well-established textbook covers the environmental and engineering
aspects of the management of rainwater and wastewater in areas of human development …

Increased impervious surface area is a consequence of urbanization, with correspondent
and significant effects on the hydrologic cycle. It is intuitive that an increased proportion of …

The storm water management model (SWMM) is a widely used tool for urban drainage
design and planning. Hundreds of peer-reviewed articles and conference proceedings have …

Mitigating the impact of increasing impervious surfaces on stormwater runoff by low impact
development (LID) is currently being widely promoted at site and local scales. In turn, the …

In this paper we review recent progress in the use of reduced complexity models for
predicting floodplain inundation. We review the theoretical basis for modelling floodplain …

The literature contains contradictory conclusions regarding the relative effects of
urbanization on peak flood flows due to increases in impervious area, drainage density and …

Modeling flood inundation in an urban setting is increasingly relevant given the magnitude
of potential loss and disruption associated with non-riverine, urban flooding. Both …
