Abstract:Urbanization creates impervious coverage and increases peak flows during storm events. Flood estimation methods in the United Kingdom characterize these impacts using a weighted measure of catchment urban land cover, but research suggests that consideration of spatial effects could improve lumped catchment modelling of storm runoff. This paper employs spatially explicit landscape metrics alongside lumped catchment descriptors to assess the potential for improving flood estimates in urbanised catchments over ex… Show more
