Maheng, M.D. (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Pathirana, Assela (author)The increasing global population and in-country migration have a significant impact on global land use land cover (LULC) change, which reduces green spaces and increases built-up areas altering the near-surface radiation and energy budgets, as well as the hydrological cycle over an urban area. The LULC change can lead to a combination of hazards...journal article 2024

(author), Santos, Daniel Costa dos (author)In response to pressing global challenges like climate change, rapid population growth, and an urgent need for sustainable infrastructure, cities face an immediate and crucial necessity to transition swiftly toward an integrated approach to managing urban water resources. This shift is not merely an option but an imperative, driven by the...journal article 2024

Yang, F. (author), Fu, Dafang (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Boogaard, Floris C. (author), Singh, Rajendra Prasad (author)Evaluation of the hydrological performance of grassed swales usually needs long-term monitoring data. At present, suitable techniques for simulating the hydrological performance using limited monitoring data are not available. Therefore, current study aims to investigate the relationship between saturated hydraulic conductivity (K<sub>s</sub>...journal article 2024

Corzo Perez, Gerald Augusto (author), Sanchez Tapiero, Diego Ivan (author), Contreras Martínez, Manuel Antonio (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)The rapid growth of impervious areas in urban basins worldwide has increased the number of impermeable surfaces in cities, leading to severe flooding and significant economic losses for civilians. This trend highlights the urgent need for methodologies that assess flood hazards and specifically address the direct impact on pedestrians, which...journal article 2024

Yang, F. (author), Fu, Dafang (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Boogaard, Floris C. (author), Singh, Rajendra Prasad (author)Saturated hydraulic conductivity (K<sub>s</sub>) of the filler layer in grassed swales are varying in the changing environment. In most of the hydrological models, K<sub>s</sub> is assumed as constant or decrease with a clogging factor. However, the K<sub>s</sub> measured on site cannot be the input of the hydrological model directly....journal article 2023

Huynh, T.T.N. (author), Hofstra, Nynke (author), Nguyen, Hong Quan (author), Baker, Stephen (author), Pathirana, Assela (author), Corzo Perez, Gerald A. (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)Microbial pathogens in urban floodwaters pose risks to human health, potentially causing diseases such as diarrhea. However, the disease burden related to urban traffic exposure from citizens passing through floodwaters is not easily quantified and therefore not included in many studies. Notably, this problem has received little attention in...journal article 2023

(author), Moeliono, Tristam Pascal (author), Budiyono, Yus (author)This chapter assesses ACM’s potential as a pathway to address the flooding problem of Greater Jakarta, significantly exacerbated by land subsidence and climate change. It is based on a thought experiment by the authors to envision application of this approach to the problem and is not the result of empirical work. A background of Jakarta’s...book chapter 2023

(author), Comes, M. (author)To prevent floods from becoming disasters, social vulnerability must be integrated into flood risk management. We advocate that the welfare of different societal groups should be included by adding recovery capacity, impacts of beyond-design events, and distributional impacts.journal article 2022

Yang, F. (author), Fu, Dafang (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Rene, Eldon R. (author)Stormwater biofiltration systems (SBS) are a popular technology for mitigating the negative effects of urbanization on the hydrological processes and water quality in urban areas. However, little is known about SBS's long-term performance in actual field conditions. The findings of a review of the scientific literature on the long-term...review 2022

(author), Kirezci, Ebru (author), Maheng, M.D. (author), Radhakrishnan, Mohanasundar (author), Pathirana, Assela (author)Risk-informed flood risk management requires a comprehensive and quantitative risk assessment, which often demands multiple (thousands of) river and flood model simulations. Performing such a large number of model simulations is a challenge, especially for large, complex river systems (e.g., Mekong) due to the associated computational and...journal article 2022

Wu, Z. (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Xie, Ping (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) is a rainfall threshold which initiates flooding in streams. It merely provides a binary output (yes or no) which has large uncertainties in forecasting. In this paper, we propose a new method by combining FFG with the Frequentist method to present the probability of flash flood occurrence based on historical...journal article 2022

Liu, X. (author), Fu, Dafang (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Busker, Tim (author), Yu, Meixiu (author)As a result of high-density urbanization and climate change, both the frequency and intensity of extreme urban rainfall are increasing. Drainage systems are not designed to cope with this increase, and as a result, floods are becoming more common in cities, particularly in the rapidly growing cities of China. To better cope with more frequent...journal article 2021

Maheng, M.D. (author), Pathirana, Assela (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)Urbanization is changing land use–land cover (LULC) transforming green spaces (GS) and bodies of water into built-up areas. LULC change is affecting ecosystem services (ES) in urban areas, such as by decreasing of the water retention capacity, the urban temperature regulation capacity and the carbon sequestration. The relation between LULC...journal article 2021

Ngo, Q.H. (author), Pathirana, Assela (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Ranasinghe, Roshanka (author)Probabilistic flood forecasting requires flood models that are simple and fast. Many of the modelling applications in the literature tend to be complex and slow, making them unsuitable for probabilistic applications which require thousands of individual simulations. This article focusses on the development of such a modelling approach to...journal article 2018
