High resolution modelling of floodplain water storage capacity loss in a highly urbanized tropical catchment and its implications for flood management.
Abstract:<p>The city of S&#227;o Paulo in Brazil is the largest urban agglomeration in the world outside Asia. The urbanization process has developed extensively and with a high density of construction in areas of high drainage density of this tropical environment, including over natural floodplains and low terraces, which has made flooding the most prevalent type of risk. Historically, the containment of such events involves the implementation of artificial channels and the construction of artifi… Show more
