Urban Pluvial Flooding: Managing the Risk in Resilient Cities

Intended to provide Researchers, Structural Engineers, Civil Engineers and Architects with a holistic approach to prevent or mitigate damage due to this type of flooding, Urban Pluvial flooding: Understanding and Managing covers all the main scientific and technical aspects of pluvial flooding in urban areas including drivers, impacts, and related risks. The book presents wide coverage of all aspects of pluvial flooding in urban areas. Prevention tools and methods such as Urban growth modelling, Hydrological modelling, and Hydraulic modelling methods are explained in clear terms to help facilitate understanding of how to utilize these tools and effectively analyze the results and form effective management plans. In addition, Urban Pluvial Flooding: Understanding and Managing provides several case studies to illustrate how these tools and methods were deployed in the face of actual crisis. An interdisciplinary approach for assessing and mitigating flood risk incorporating engineering, natural sciences and social sciences.Provides a review of the inputs and components of urban pluvial flood modelling methodsProvides a holistic systematic analysis of disaster risk reduction due to pluvial flooding eventsIncludes examples and results from real case studies from throughout the world INDICE: Part 1: Challenges 1.
