The Urbanization and the Stormwater Flooding in the Urban Areas. SUDS – Alternative Solutions for Stromwater Flooding in Urban Area
Session
Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment
Description
In this article will be generally explained the problems caused by the urbanization process, regarding to the impermeable area increase and the rapid growth of the runoff in urban areas; the impact and the consequences of the extreme events rainfall with high intensities, and the alternative solutions to drain or to stop the peak flow of runoff with higher values than the capacity of the existing pipes. In the article with also be explained the cause, factors and the consequences in the underground water table in the urban area. The impact of urbanization process in the rapid growth of water flow runoff and the management of these waters with alternative solution (localized locations) without performing other works to increase the long existing systems pipes. In this article will also be represented a hydraulic model of a stromwater system, stressing the problems due to urbanization process, and due to climate changes (extreme events frequency, rainfall intensities of this events, etc). Both main factors, such as impermeable surface increase and the rainfall intensities will be discussed.
