ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel methodology for optimizing installation of low impact development practices (LIDs) in an urban hydrological catchment. This methodology helps stakeholders in deciding on what kind and area of LID must be installed in each sub‐catchment to attenuate pluvial flooding as a result of intense rain events.

Building‐Scale Flood Hazard Modelling for Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage
ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most frequent natural hazards threatening cultural heritage sites, yet current flood hazard studies often operate at urban or regional scales. While building‐scale damage models exist, they generally rely on flood depth inputs from large‐scale inundation models, inputs that may fail to capture the internal complexity of ...
