Pluvial flood modelling of the South East London Resilience Zone in the Community Resilience to Extreme Weather (CREW) Project

摘要: The project ‘Community Resilience to Extreme Weather'(CREW), funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, has gathered scientists and engineers from different disciplines to develop tools for assessing the changing probability and impacts of extreme weather events. These tools, being developed initially for a study area in the South East London Resilience Zone, will be invaluable to communities exploring options for improving their resilience to the impacts of a changing climate. An interactive web-based information portal is being built to integrate the research results and make them available to end-users.The study area is subject to increasing tidal and fluvial flood risk. In addition, extreme rainfall events are likely to occur more frequently, leading to increased pluvial (surface water) flooding. One component of the CREW project, therefore, concerns pluvial flooding. This work is novel in …
