11. Framework for Dynamic Modelling of Urban Floods at Different Topographical Resolutions

    UNESCO-IHE PhD Thesis

    By Solomon D. Seyoum

    Urban flood risks and their impacts are expected to increase as urban development in flood prone areas continues and rain intensity increases as a result of climate change while aging drainage infrastructures limit the drainage capacity in existing urban areas. Flood mitigation strategies are...
