Efficiency of stormwater control measures for combined sewer retrofitting under varying rain conditions: Quantifying the Three Points Approach (3PA) [PDF]
Environmental Science & Policy, 2016 Abstract We present a method to assess and communicate the efficiency of stormwater control measures for retrofitting existing urban areas. The tool extends the Three Points Approach to quantitatively distinguish three rainfall domains: (A) rainwater resource utilisation, (B) urban stormwater drainage pipe design, and (C) pluvial flood mitigation ...

Partitioning the impacts of spatial and climatological rainfall variability in urban drainage modeling [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 The performance of urban drainage systems is typically examined using hydrological and hydrodynamic models where rainfall input is uniformly distributed, i.e., derived from a single or very few rain gauges.

Sewerage inflow and infiltration in Universiti Malaysia Pahang (Gambang) [PDF]
, 2015 There are several problems occurring during heavy rain which public infrastructure defects will allow unwanted water to enter the sewer system. The sewer pipe system that had cracked or broken causes the excess water from inflow and infiltration to enter

Combined fluvial and pluvial urban flood hazard analysis: concept development and application to Can Tho city, Mekong Delta, Vietnam [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Many urban areas experience both fluvial and pluvial floods, because locations next to rivers are preferred settlement areas and the predominantly sealed urban surface prevents infiltration and facilitates surface inundation.

A continuous stochastic disaggregation model of rainfall for peak flow simulation in urban hydrologic systems [PDF]
, 2001 In the paper by Durrans et al. (1999), an algorithm proposed by Ormsbee (1989) is recommended for the stochastic disaggregation of hourly rainfall in continuous flow simulation studies of urban hydrologic systems. However, Durrans et al. found that the

The Role of Environmental Variables in Waste Stabilization Ponds' Morphodynamics
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019 In management of helminth infections and transmission, the correct prediction of sludge accumulation patterns in waste stabilization ponds (WSP) is important as sedimented eggs are associated with sludge depth.

A Simple Method to Develop a Formula for Estimating Concentration Time of Drainage Design
Aceh International Journal of Science and Technology, 2020 Concentration time of rainfall is an important aspect to determine drainage design. A general rational formula is used to determine design flood or peak flow in urban drainage planning, especially for storm sewer design.
