Urban flood risk warning under rapid urbanization

Environmental Research, 2015
In the past decades, China has observed rapid urbanization, the nation's urban population reached 50% in 2000, and is still in steady increase. Rapid urbanization in China has an adverse impact on urban hydrological processes, particularly in increasing the urban flood risks and causing serious urban flooding losses.

Characterisation of Urban Streams and Urban Flooding

2007
ABSTRACT: This chapter explores a number of issues concerned with urban flooding. It firstly examines the broad problems of rural and urban flooding before focusing on the classification of the different types of urban watercourse, from major rivers to sewers to minor streams, found in urban areas.

Monitoring of Flooding in Urban Areas

2007 Urban Remote Sensing Joint Event, 2007
Urban areas are crowded environments, where a disaster can bring dramatic consequences, if not adequately forecasted and faced. Remote sensing instruments can be fruitfully used for both prediction and aid organization purposes. In particular, in this paper we present innovative synthetic aperture radar (SAR) techniques for the detection of a flooded ...

Progress of Urban Flood Research and Overall Handling of Urban Flood in China

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
Under the background of the climatic changes and the rapid urban development, the occurring frequency of urban floods grows increasingly, the influencing areas gradually spread, and the disaster losses become increasingly severe. The handling of urban flood has already become an issue requiring quick and effective solution during human social ...

Flood Impact on Urban Transport Networks Considering the Flooding Propagation

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
Urban flooding significantly impacts transport networks and the mobility of people and associated air quality. This paper introduces a new dynamic framework to quantify and analyse the indirect economic and environmental impacts of flooding on transport networks from multiple perspectives, including time delay, fuel consumption, and pollutant emissions.

Secondary benefits of urban flood protection

Journal of Environmental Management, 2023
The combined effects of urbanization and climate change put a large portion of the population at risk from pluvial, fluvial, and coastal flooding. To continue to strive for sustainable development, cities will need to protect flood-prone areas, but this will require significant investments in both green and grey infrastructure solutions.

Opportunities for crowdsourcing in urban flood monitoring

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2021
Abstract Flooding is the most common natural hazard, leading to property damage, injuries, and death. Despite the potential for major consequences, urban flooding remains difficult to forecast, largely due to a lack of data availability at fine spatial scales and associated predictive capabilities.
