In the Netherlands, higher rainfall intensities and longer periods of drought are expected in the coming years. Urban environments have to be adapted in order to maintain (or improve) the living standards that we have set for today. Models of the urban drainage system play a vital role in the identification of flood-prone areas, participation of stakeholders and the design of effective measures. This research focuses on the modelling of the urban drainage system to assess pluvial flooding. A method is selected to compare the main modelling concepts and differences between the most often used modelling concepts are assessed.
