Comparing Simplified Urban Pluvial Flood Inundation methods in an Interactive Tool with an Agent-based Model for Event Management TU Dresden, Germany Multidisciplinary stormwater management is a still a main challenge of sustainable stormwater and urban pluvial floods (UPF) management. To assess an urban catchment a typical approach of coupling hydrodynamic models of above and underground systems is used. However, this is technically challenging, plus it requires significant computational and data resources. Using GAMA, a platform for developing Agent-based models, an interactive and friendly-user tool is presented in which a hydrodynamic model of sewer system in SWMM is coupled with simplified overland inundation models. The user only has to select the main parameters, like duration and return period, and run the simulation to see the inundation and a damage estimation. The hydrodynamic simulation and coupling happens in the background. The tool can be used for knowledge transfer in workshops or academia with experts, non-experts, decision makers, among others. | |
