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 investigated the relation between heavy rainfall and urban pluvial flooding in Rotterdam with the aim to identify parameters and thresholds that can be used as predictors of urban pluvial flooding. The focus of the investigation was on an area of 16 km2. Datasets for this research included historical crowdsourced flooding reports, overflow pumping volumes, open spatial data and rainfall data at different temporal and spatial resolutions. Threshold values, (which can be used as part of early warning systems), were derived from historical flooding data and rainfall depths over sub daily durations. Threshold values of rainfall depth were found to be 6 mm (±3 mm) in 15 min and 11 mm (±6 mm) in 60 min. Surprisingly, the derived thresholds are only approximately half of the theoretical drainage system design capacity. Furthermore, a threshold value of 70 % (±4 %) imperviousness was found above which flooding incidents significantly increase. Results also suggested a strong dependence on spatial aggregation scale, as it highly influences correlation coefficients and parameter density values. Elevation differences did not appear to contribute to urban pluvial flooding, based on a flow path analysis for the study area. Finally, we showed that antecedent rainfall does not explain additional variance in reports, meaning it is not an influential urban pluvial flooding predictor, at least not on a daily temporal resolution.

Hydroinformatics found its origin in the advancement of computational hydraulics in the early 1990s but has expanded considerably, both in scope and in application areas. It is now not only being applied in the fields of hydraulics and hydrology (often indicated by the colour blue), but also in environmental science and technology (green) as well as in knowledge systems and knowledge management (yellow). This paper focuses on urban (red) applications of hydroinformatics, taking urban flood and disaster management as an example. It is part of a sequence of papers, each focusing on a particular field (colour) of hydroinformatics, which together constitute a multi-coloured rainbow of application areas that hydroinformatics has expanded into over the past two decades or so. The combined papers on “Hydroinformatics in multi-colours” were presented as the opening keynote of the Workshop on Advances in Hydroinformatics held in Niagara Falls, in June 2007. In this paper—part red of the sequence—the role of urban hydroinformatics in assessing effects of climate change on urban flooding and health risk is addressed in relation to the UN Millennium Development Goals and illustrated on a case study of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Analysis of Flood Disaster Management in Batang Merao River at Sungai Penuh Regional Disaster Management Agency. Flooding is an event where land which is usually dry (not swampy areas) becomes inundated by water, this is caused by high rainfall and topographic conditions in the form of lowlands to sunken areas. In addition, the occurrence of flooding can also be caused by runoff which overflows and its volume exceeds the drainage capacity of the drainage system or river flow system. The occurrence of flood disasters is also caused by the low ability of soil infiltration, so that the soil is no longer able to absorb water. Flooding can occur due to rising water levels due to rainfall above normal, changes in temperature, embankments / dams that break, fast melting snow, obstructed water flow in other places. The purpose of this research is to find out how the Flood Disaster Management in Batang Merao River in Sungai Penuh City Regional Disaster Management Agency. This study uses a qualitative approach that examines an object of research by studying in its entirety and in depth rather than looking at the relationship of two or more variables, where the results of the study will be processed based on the interpretive researcher and described in a descriptive form. Data obtained through field interviews with 7 informants namely 1 key informant and 6 ordinary informants. Flood mitigation consists of prevention and mitigation, preparedness, emergency response and rehabilitation and reconstruction. Based on the existing work program, all activities have been carried out by the Sungai Penuh City Regional Disaster Management Agency in flood mitigation in Sungai Merao River Sungai Penuh which is guided by Law Number 24 Year 2007.

Climate change is globally causing more intense meteorological phenomena. Our cities experience increased rainfall intensity, more intense heat waves, and prolonged droughts providing economic, social, health and environmental challenges. Combined with population growth and rapid urbanization, the increasing impact of climate change will make our cities more and more vulnerable, especially to urban flooding. In order to adapt our urban water systems to these challenges, the adoption of newly emerging water management strategies is required. The complexity and scale of this challenge calls for the integration of knowledge from different disciplines and collaborative approaches. The water sensitive cities principles provide guidance for developing new techniques, strategies, policies, and tools to improve the livability, sustainability, and resilience of cities. In this study, the DAnCE4Water modeling approach promoting the development of water sensitive cities was applied to Parma, an Italian town that has faced serious water issues in the last few years. The city, indeed, had to face the consequences of flooding several times, caused by the inadequacy of both the network of open channels and the sewerage network due to the urban expansion and climate change of the last 30 years. Through the model, the efficiency of decentralized technologies, such as green roofs and porous pavement, and their integration with the existing centralized combined sewer system was assessed under a range of urban development scenarios. The obtained results show that the adoption of an integrated approach, including soft engineering hydraulic strategies, consisting in the use of natural and sustainable solutions, can increase resilience to urban flooding. Further, the study shows that there is a critical need for strategic investment in solutions that will deliver long-term sustainable outcomes.

In recent years, "see the sea" in the rainy season has become a high frequency event in cities. Urban flood and waterlogging which are increasing day by day has influenced residents' lives seriously especially in large cities with high population aggregation. As a coastal city with low altitude, Shenzhen, where has a high requirement for the urban drainage system, not only has to face abundant in rainfall but also has to cope with the tide. In this paper, the disaster reduction systems such as rainwater collection, drainage system, flood storage and detention basin, reservoirs and pumping station in the Shenzhen River basin are analyzed and the operation effect is studied. In general, the flood management system of overall planning, emergency scheduling, preparation before flood, key area on duty, and post-rain response has achieved a high level and played an active role in disaster prevention and reduction. The conclusions that Shenzhen River basin has a complete and efficient system of urban flood and waterlogging management, the rainwater collecting and discharging system can meet the requirement of the city and modern design concepts of blocking, storaging, draining, pumping, scheduling which have effectively reduced the disaster have been come.

In recent decades, rapid urbanization has resulted in a growing urban population, transformed into regions of exceptional socio-economic value. By removing vegetation and soil, grading the land surface and saturating soil air content, urban developments are more likely to be flooded, which will be further exacerbated by an anticipated increase in the number of intense rainfall events, due to climate change. To date, data collected show that urban pluvial flood events are on the rise for both the UK and China. This paper presents a critical review of existing sustainable approaches to urban flood management, by comparing UK practice with that in China and critically assessing whether lessons can be learnt from the Sponge City initiative. The authors have identified a strategic research plan to ensure that the sponge city initiative can successfully respond to extreme climatic events and tackle pluvial flooding. Hence, this review suggests that future research should focus on (1) the development of a more localized rainfall model for the Chinese climate; (2) the role of retrofit SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) in challenging water environments; (3) the development of a robust SuDS selection tool, ensuring that the most effective devices are installed, based on local factors; and (4) dissemination of current information, and increased understanding of maintenance and whole life-costing, alongside monitoring the success of sponge cities to increase the confidence of decision makers (5) the community engagement and education about sponge cities.
