Urbanization increases regional impervious surface area, which generally reduces
hydrologic response time and therefore increases flood risk. The objective of this work is to …

The change of land use and land coverage (LULC) has a direct impact on the underlying
surface of the drainage basin, hence alters the rainfall-runoff processes. This study …

This article examines the effects of watershed urbanization on stream flood behavior in the
Los Angeles metropolitan region. Stream gauge data, spatially distributed rainfall data, land …

Rapid urbanization has brought great productivity, prosperity and challenges to Shanghai in
the last few decades. This paper focuses on the influence of urbanization on urban pluvial …

To date, limited attention has been paid to the role of impervious surface (IS) location in
influencing flood processes. However, this topic is of tremendous significance for developing …

Urban development may increase the risk of future floods because of local changes in
hydrological conditions and an increase in flood exposure that arises from an increasing …

Understanding the drivers behind urban floods is critical for reducing its devastating impacts
to human and society. This study investigates the impacts of recent urban development on …

This paper presents a numerical analysis of pluvial flooding to evaluate the impact of land
subsidence on flood risks in urban contexts using a hydraulic model (FloodMap …

Since the late 1970s, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in China has undergone a rapid transition
from an agricultural landscape to a metropolitan area. The rapid urbanization has not only …

The non-stationarity in runoff regime may be attributed to various causes such as climate
change, land use change, and man-made runoff control structures. Degradation of land use …
