DOI: 10.1080/1573062x.2020.1828938
Abstract: ABSTRACT Accurate model-based forecasts (discharge and water level) are considered significant for efficient planning and management of urban drainage systems. These model-based predictions can be improved by assimilating system measurements in physically based, distributed, 1D… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1573062x.2021.1928244
Abstract: ABSTRACT Traditional hydrological objective functions may penalize models that reproduce hydrograph shapes well, but with some shift in time; especially for urban catchments with a fast hydrological response. Hydrograph timing is not always critical, so… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tcst.2021.3137712
Abstract: Real-time control (RTC) of urban drainage networks (UDNs) is a complex task where transport flows are non-pressurized and therefore impose flow-dependent time delays in the system. Unfortunately, the installation of flow sensors is economically out… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app10051834
Abstract: A traditional urban drainage system (UDS) planning approach generally considers the most probable future rainfall scenario. However, this single scenario (i.e., scenario-optimal) planning approach is prone to failure under recent climatic conditions, which involve increasing… read more here.
