Green Infrastructure Can Combat Combined Sewer Overflows [PDF]
, 2007 Every year millions of gallons of raw sewage are dumped directly into our local waterways here in Buffalo, NY. Combined sewer overflows (or CSO’s) are the cause of this environmental and human health hazard, and they occur an average of 68 times per year,

Building Treatment and Its Effects on City‐Scale Urban Flood Modeling
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Physics‐based flood hydrodynamic models are widely used for predicting inundation in urban basins with complex building layouts. While the treatment of urban buildings in these models has been extensively discussed, over‐assumptions can introduce inaccuracies, uncertainties, and excessive computational effort, particularly under data‐scarce ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Worldwide, cities rely on the proper functioning of critical infrastructures (CIs) such as electricity, telecommunication, water supply and transportation. Failure of those infrastructures can lead to significant and long‐lasting impacts, even far beyond the flooded areas due to cascading effects.

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.This study uses the MaxEnt model to identify key factors influencing flooding in Kigali, with slope being the most important. Future climate scenarios indicate that climate change could increase flood risk, highlighting the need for smart land use, better drainage, and green solutions to protect the city as it grows. ABSTRACT Flooding is among the most

Comprehensive Framework for the Assessment of Multi‐Level Pluvial Flood Risk
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Urban areas are increasingly vulnerable to pluvial floods, a threat that is exacerbated by climate change and urbanisation. Current risk assessment methods often lack scalability and practical applicability across diverse urban contexts and varying capacities.

GIS and SWMM‐Integrated Multi‐Indicator Fuzzy Assessment for Urban Flood Risk in Chengdu
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Effective assessment of urban flood risk is essential for decision‐making under mixed and uncertain information conditions. This study proposes a multi‐indicator hesitant fuzzy assessment framework integrating hazard, exposure, and vulnerability.

The Drivers of Planning and Development in Flood‐Prone Areas: A Case Study of Santa Cruz, California
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Housing in the United States faces an escalating threat of flooding due to climate change and population growth patterns. This study focuses on the most flood‐prone neighborhoods of Santa Cruz, California, to examine development trends and explain the drivers of residential growth in these areas.
