Minimizing Urban Flooding by Optimal Design of Drainage System Using Sequential Least Squares Quadratic Programming and Spatial Datasets

Abstract:Urban flooding is caused due to poor drainage design and excessive rain. It severely affects the road infrastructure. Existing hydrologic software tools to examine the extent of urban flooding primarily require walking through a series of manual steps and address each study area individually, preventing a collective review of poor storm-drains in an efficient manner. Previous methods for optimal drainage design were inefficient and lacked the ability of solving the underlying optimization problem due to the in… Show more
