DOI: 10.5194/hess-2017-751
Abstract: Abstract. Urban drainage systems are challenged by both urbanization and climate change, intensifying urban pluvial flooding impacts. Urban pluvial flooding impacts can be reduced by improving infrastructure and operational urban flood management strategies. This study… read more here.
