Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) were almost unknown in Spain two decades ago; today, the country is transitioning towards a more sustainable and regenerative management global context where green policies are gaining prominence. This research establishes diagnosis of SUDS examines extent to which moving new paradigm three dimensions: (a) governance social perception community, (b) reg...

Urban drainage systems are frequently analysed using hydraulic modelling software packages such as InfoWorks CS or MIKE-Urban. The use of such modelling tools allows the evaluation of sewer capacity and the likelihood and impact of pluvial flood events. Models can also be used to plan major investments such as increasing storage capacity or the implementation of sustainable urban drainage syste...

Changes in climate, waterlogging hazards and regional floods are more prominent present context. The paper reviews potential of flood hazard dense urban areas, using GIS-based 1-D hydrodynamic model (MIKE URBAN). major factor contributing to the recent decades is climatic variability thus long-term variations precipitation drainage system an area were evaluated. MIKE URBAN (1-D) can be used com...

Structural deterioration of drainage pipes has been a major concern for asset managers in maintaining the required performance of the urban drainage systems. Structural deterioration is the reduction of physical integrity, which can be characterized through structural defects such as cracks and fractures that are identified through condition assessment. Due to limited budget and the massive num...

Urban flooding is an increasingly alarming issue in terms of public safety and property damage. Climate change and its possible effects on the occurrence of more frequent extreme weather events have become an important topic in the area of global politics, science and engineering of today’s world. The proper design of urban drainage systems and analysis of their hydraulic performance to secure ...

Recent developments in urban drainage modelling allow for a more realistic coupling of the two-dimensional (2D) surface and one-dimensional (1D) sub-surface drainage domain exchanging water through storm drain inlets instead of a sub-catchment approach based on manholes. Experience has shown, however, that comprehensive records of storm drain inlet locations are often missing or incomplete, pre...

When conducting a master drainage plan for an urban area, catchments are varied from small to large in size. Although there are many hydrologic methods developed for stormwater predictions, the size of catchment often serves as the basis to select a proper method. As always, the common question is how to quantitatively define the size of small watershed, and how to establish the modeling consis...

Quantification of drainage to remove excess water from the soil profile and provide a suitable environment for vegetation has been developed over the years. Drainage estimation is fairly challenging particularly in the heterogeneous urban environs. This research studied the temporal variation of drainage rate and nutrient leaching in Veale Gardens of Adelaide Parklands, Australia. A zero tensio...
