Impacts of Climate Change on Rainfall Extremes and Urban Drainage Systems

Impacts of climate change on rainfall extremes and urban drainage systems: a review.

A review is made of current methods for assessing future changes in urban rainfall extremes and their effects on urban drainage systems, due to anthropogenic-induced climate change. The review concludes that in spite of significant advances there are still many limitations in our understanding of how to describe precipitation patterns in a changing climate in order to design and operate urban d...

Mining Extremes: Severe Rainfall and Climate Change

Theoretical developments for the analysis and modeling of extreme value data have tended to focus on limiting cases and assumptions of independence. However, massive datasets from models and sensors, space-time dimensionality, complex dependence structures, long-memory, long-range and low frequency processes all motivate the need for sophisticated methods for correlated and finite data that fol...

A Review of Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems Considering the Climate Change and Urbanization Impacts

Climate change and urbanization are converging to challenge city drainage infrastructure due to their adverse impacts on precipitation extremes and the environment of urban areas. Sustainable drainage systems have gained growing public interest in recent years, as a result of its positive effects on water quality and quantity issues and additional recreational amenities perceived in the urban l...
