Optimization algorithms and urban inundation models are powerful tools to identify cost‐
effective designs of urban green infrastructures such as low‐impact developments (LIDs) …

The impact of urban flooding is increasing due to the effects of increasing urbanisation and
climate change. The use of storages is a relatively well-established approach to reduce …

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 …

Storage is important for flood mitigation and non-point source pollution control. However, to
seek a cost-effective design scheme for storage tanks is very complex. This paper presents a …

Adapting urban stormwater drainage systems is essential to handling increased
urbanization and climate change. Within an urban area, storage units are an efficient …

Water loss is an issue that affect Water Distribution Systems (WDSs) very often, especially
when aged and high pressure occurs. Pressure reduction valves (PRVs) can be used as …

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

Water loss is a phenomenon frequently observed within water distribution systems (WDSs),
that is considerably worsened by an excessive pressure throughout the network. As an …

In recent years, there has been an increase in the frequency of urban floods as a result of
three determinant factors: the reduction in systems' capacity due to aging, a changing …

In this study, an analysis of hydraulic systems with forced retention is presented as an
alternative to traditional stormwater retention methods for drainage systems. This study …
