Modeling of Municipal Drainage and Urban Channel Flooding in Coastal City in the South of China [PDF]
Journal of Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (JRACR), 2015 A numerical model has been formatted including ocean, rain drainage, urban channels, and pumps by the software MIKE FLOOD which coupling MIKE URBAN, MIKE 11 and MIKE 21. The different scenarios have been simulated. The flooding warning water level of the

, 2017 The recent degradation of environment quality becomes the prime cause of the recent occurrence of natural disasters. It also contributes in the increase of the area that is prone to natural disasters. Flood history data in Jakarta shows that flood occurred mainly during rainy season around January – February each year, but the flood area varies each ...

Significant Rural Contributions to Severe Coastal Urban Flooding Through Flow Connectivity
Geophysical Research LettersCoastal cities are increasingly threatened by hurricane‐induced compound flooding. However, the relative contributions of rainfall‐surge interactions and other flood drivers, such as runoff from surrounding rural and local impervious areas, in shaping ...

Drivers of future urban flood risk
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 Managing urban flood risk is a key global challenge of the twenty-first century. Drivers of future UK flood risk were identified and assessed by the Flood Foresight project in 2002–2004 and 2008; envisaging flood risk during the 2050s and 2080s under a range of scenarios for climate change and socio-economic development.

Journal of Disaster Research, 2007 Urban flood disasters occur often worldwide, and Japan is no exception, as indicated by the 1999 Fukuoka flood. Urban floods result from changes in the urban environment influenced by the specific features of the city involved. We review recent urban floods, their causes and characteristics, together with the results of recent studies.
