Effectiveness of Low-impact development for mitigating the risk of pluvial flooding : A case study in Trelleborg, Sweden
(2024) IWA World Water Congress & Exhibition, 2024- Abstract
- Increasing imperviousness in urban areas, and changes in rainfall intensity and return periods because of climate change increase urban flood risk. This study utilizes the hydraulic model Mike+ to assess the multifunctional use of existing roads and parking lots, which could serve to either retain or detain stormwater and accommodate trees, plants, and vegetation as part of a low-impact development (LID) system. The results from the study demonstrate its success in reducing urban flood risk, including the risk of basement flooding, surface runoff, discharge rates, and flow velocity at the outlet of the studied area.
