Urban flood risk warning under rapid urbanization
Environmental Research, 2015In 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.

Today’s cities face the challenge of climate change adaptation worldwide. In this context, prevention of damage caused by flash floods plays an important role. This requires a cooperative pluvial flood risk management approach, which includes planning, technical, and administrative measures and involves preliminary flood risk analyses.

Secondary benefits of urban flood protection
Journal of Environmental Management, 2023The 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.

Urban flood disaster management
Urban Water Journal, 2008Disaster management for urban areas is a growing priority owing to factors such as the relentless migration to cities, unplanned development, changing climate, and increasing operational and maintenance costs. New information and communication technologies offer improved opportunities to address these factors.

Urban Flood Frequency Characteristics
Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1974This paper presents the results of a study concerning the occurrence and factors affecting floods from small urban watersheds. Based on Log-Pearson Type III flood frequency analysis on four urban watersheds located in Texas, urbanization has significantly increased peak discharge.

Urban flooding: the flood-planned city concept
1994Urban flooding can be generated by two different mechanisms. A town or city occupying a part of the flood plain can be flooded by external floods, or else flooding can be generated by internal urban runoff. In this second case, a completely different hydrology occurs, governed by technologies of urban hydrology and hydraulics.

Reduce urban flood vulnerability
Nature, 2012[Extract] Increasing numbers of people live in flood-prone areas worldwide. With continued development, flooding will become more frequent. Acceleration of the hydrological cycle and sea-level rise resulting from climate change could worsen the problem. We must therefore address the social, economic and political factors that force or allow some people
