Session Title Urban Hydrology And Stormwater Management
Main Convener Prof. Ke-Sheng Cheng (National Taiwan University, Taiwan)
Co-convener(s) Prof. Kwan Tun Lee (National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan)
Prof. Jeanne Jinhui Huang (Nankai University, China)
Session Description Urban hydrology is generally characterized by short time of concentration and very fast response to high intensity rainfalls, commonly known as flash floods. Sewer system, surface drainage facilities, detention ponds and pumping stations are often combined together to cope with such flash floods. Different landcover/landuse types, complex terrain variations, and complicated building blocks present in an urban environment make urban hydrological modeling a difficult task. This session aims to provide a platform for presentations of innovative ideas and approaches of urban flood prevention and urban stormwater management practices. In addition to technical issues such as hydrological modeling and engineering design, we also encourage presentations on land management policies, strormwater master plan, and implementation of urban stormwater permitting. Specific topics of this session may include, but not limited to, the following items:
(1) Zoning and landuse management practices for urban flood prevention
(2) Realtime rainfall forecasting
(3) Urban rainfall-runoff modeling
(4) Urban inundation modeling
(5) Urban stormwater management
(6) Combined modeling of surface runoff and sewer flow
(7) Design of retention/detention structures for urban flood prevention
(8) Impact of climate and environmental changes on urban hydrology
(9) Stormwater management permitting and master plan
(10) Other issues related to urban stormwater management
