摘要

Major setbacks from urban flooding are experienced by cities worldwide, necessitating the development of sophisticated flood modeling techniques and models that allow for an understanding of the behavior and socioeconomic effects of floods. This chapter gives an overview of the process of urban flood modeling in a broader sense, including the flood deluge and risk mapping in urban expanses. Since the number of urban floods keeps on rising, the research puts emphasis on the need for accurate and detailed information about flood hazards to ensure early warnings and successful implementation of structural and nonstructural measures. In this review, the authors scrutinized approximately 40 urban stormwater models. Based on their analyses, these models can range from less sophisticated conceptual models to more complex hydraulic models. Once the evaluation of these selected tools is complete, our attention then turns to modeling functionalities in an urban environment. Flood parameters of relevance are deluge extent and depth, which are noted to be measured by GIS-based hydraulic models. Each model’s features and capabilities are summarized in a comprehensive table. It also demonstrates the difficulty of urban flood modeling with regard to human intervention, land-use change, changes in climate influenced by urbanization, and rainfall patterns. For its final part, this investigation has looked at the combined use of different modeling techniques needed for accurate results using available dataset.
