Effects of Nonstationarity in Urban Land Cover and Rainfall on Historical Flooding Intensity in a Semiarid Catchment
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Nonstationarity of rainfall extremes and urban land cover pose uncertainties for local stormwater managers attempting to address urban flooding. Due to the recent attention focused on adapting urban drainage design to ...
Closure to “Training Artificial Neural Networks to Perform Rainfall Disaggregation” by Steven J. Burian, S. Rocky Durrans, Stephan J. Nix, and Robert E. Pitt
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Determining Effective Impervious Area for Urban Hydrologic Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a two-step process to estimate the fraction of an urban watershed covered by a
High-Resolution Energy Intensity Modeling to Improve Water Distribution System Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water distribution systems can improve their sustainability by identifying and implementing the most energy-efficient scheme for water delivery, but this is difficult to determine for complex systems. A method proposed ...
Evaluating Resilience of Water Distribution Networks to Operational Failures from Cyber-Physical Attacks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water cyber-physical systems (CPSs) have gained increasing interest to improve operational efficiency and reliability. However, due to growing exposure to cyber-physical attacks, cybersecurity and resilience against the ...
Two-Dimensional Fast-Response Flood Modeling: Desktop Parallel Computing and Domain Tracking
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Emergency flood management is enhanced by using models that can estimate the timing and location of flooding. Typically, flood routing and inundation prediction is accomplished by using one-dimensional (1D) models. These ...
Incorporating Potential Severity into Vulnerability Assessment of Water Supply Systems under Climate Change Conditions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In response to climate change, vulnerability assessment of water resources systems is typically performed based on quantifying the severity of the failure. This paper introduces an approach to assess vulnerability that ...
Analysis of the Effects of Climate Change on Urban Storm Water Runoff Using Statistically Downscaled Precipitation Data and a Change Factor Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In urban areas, there is concern that storm water runoff and flooding may be intensified because of the effect of climate change on precipitation amounts, intensities, and frequencies. Studies are needed to help storm water ...
Performance and Cost-Based Comparison of Green and Gray Infrastructure to Control Combined Sewer Overflows
Publisher:
Abstract: Rainwater harvesting (RWH) is being used more often today as a water supply and stormwater management green infrastructure (GI). In recent years, GIs in urban water engineering have gained attention due to their lower ...
Vulnerability Assessment to Support Integrated Water Resources Management of Metropolitan Water Supply Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
