Short peak rainfall intensities cause sewer systems to overflow leading to flooding of streets and houses. Due to climate change and densification of urban areas, this is expected to occur more often in the future. Hence, next to their minor (i.e. sewer) system, municipalities have to analyse their major (i.e. surface) system in order to anticipate urban flooding during extreme rainfall. Urban flood modelling techniques are powerful tools in both public and internal communications and…

Knowledge base and modelling for urban stormwater management : application to Nice, France
TLDR
It is shown how complementary actions can be taken to enrich local knowledge and memory thus allowing a more efficient and wiser modelling process.
Identifying urban areas prone to flash floods using GIS – preliminary results
Abstract. The aim of this study is to develop a consistent methodology to determine urban areas that are particularly vulnerable to the effects of heavy, rapid rains. They are, as a result of climate…

Flood4castRTF: A Real-Time Urban Flood Forecasting Model
TLDR
Flood4castRTF is a novel urban flood model that applies a grid-based approach at a modelling scale coarser than most recent detailed physically based models, and is cost effective for applications which do not require detailed physical based modelling.
Use of detention basin for flood mitigation and urban requalification in Mesquita, Brazil.
TLDR
A case study of a flood control project using a storm water detention pond, designed to allow multiple uses of an urban space, and considers the possibility of social urban space uses in flood control projects, revitalizing degraded areas and giving them multiple functions.
An alternative flood model calibration strategy for urban watersheds: the case study of Riohacha, Colombia.
TLDR
This paper presents an original approach to collecting hydrometeorological information for the calibration process, based on interviewing inhabitants, and the results were surprisingly good, when considering the kind of approximations involved in using people's answers as hard data.
Development and Comparison of Two Fast Surrogate Models for Urban Pluvial Flood Simulations
Detailed full hydrodynamic 1D-2D dual drainage models are a well-established approach to simulate urban pluvial floods. However, despite modelling advances and increasing computational power, this…

The Three Points Approach
TLDR
The pattern of self-organized criticality as a base for the Three Points Approach is discussed, which assumes that the interactions between water management and society and between practical and scientific arenas can be regarded as complex adaptive system characteristics.
One-dimensional GIS-based model compared with a two-dimensional model in urban floods simulation.
TLDR
A GIS-based one-dimensional flood simulation model is presented and applied to the centre of the city of Nîmes (Gard, France), for mapping flow depths or velocities in the streets network and shows that good agreements can be found in the steepest streets of the study zone, but differences may be important in the other streets.
