  3. 2. An analysis of the understanding of maintenance of nature-based solutions for urban stormwater management

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emma Knapik; [2022]
    Keywords : Flood adaptation; resilience; sustainability; green infrastructure; uncertainty; Översvämnings anpassning; spänstighet; hållbarhet; osäkerhet;

    Abstract : Urban stormwater management is necessary to protect human life and society from the dangers and damages associated with flooding from extreme weather events. Conventional measures of stormwater management utilise grey infrastructure to convey runoff away from urban areas, but due to increasing urbanization, aging of urban infrastructure, climatic variability, and flooding due to extreme weather events, these measures are often no longer sufficient.

  6. 5. Implementation of Citizens’ Observations in Urban Pluvial Flood Modelling

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Fredrik Schück; [2021]
    Keywords : Calibration; Crowdsourcing; Citizen science; CDS-rainfall; 2D flood model; Spatial variability;

    Abstract : Damages caused by urban pluvial floods are believed to increase due to climate change and urbanization as more citizens are impacted in densely populated cities and extreme rainfalls occur more frequently with higher intensities. To prepare cities for these calamities, urban pluvial flood models are created to provide knowledge about how an extreme rainfall event could inundate the studied city. READ MORE
