Stormwater management essentially aims at controlling the surface runoff to reduce water
pollution and restore ecosystem integrity. This paper reviews and discusses several …

Roads, bridges, sewer systems, and other infrastructure failures often result from climate-
related incidences along with extensive socioeconomic impacts including human life losses …

Flood risk increases with climate change and rapid urbanization, which urgently needs to
improve the capacity of urban drainage systems. In the study, a staged optimization model …

The increasing frequency of extreme rainstorms due to climate changes calls for cost-
effective methodologies to optimize drainage networks and flood risk mitigation practices …

The design of urban drainage systems often relies on the coupling of optimization algorithms
and process-based models, with the latter informed by design storms. However, such …

Abstract Design/rehabilitation of urban stormwater drainage systems has become a
challenging issue due to increasing frequency and severity of floods in urbanized areas …

This work presents a methodology for developing a Model Predictive Control (MPC) for
enhancing the operation of Urban Drainage Systems (UDS). The objective of the MPC is to …

Capacity of urban drainage systems (UDSs) can substantially influence flooding properties
of urban catchments. This motivates many studies to optimally design UDSs often using …

Extreme rainfall events have been more frequent in recent decades, potentially as a climate
change effect. This has been leading to a higher risk of the failure of existing hydraulic …

Urban floods may cause a wide range of undesirable consequences in populated areas
when drainage networks do not have enough capacity or encounter unexpected loads such …
