The Practical Influence of Climate Change on the Performance of Road Stormwater Drainage Infrastructure

Abstract

The atmospheric temperature globally has risen during the last few centuries, causing global warming and climate dynamics. The impact of global warming has caused environmental effects that include increased rainfall intensity, which is recognised as the leading cause of flooding, and destruction and devastation to the surrounding environment, infrastructure, and human life. Road stormwater drainage systems are used for removing and controlling excess runoff water to the right way. However, regardless of enhanced technologies, the reliability of drainage system schemes remains a major undertaking for water and hydraulic engineers alike. In this study, a thorough evaluation of the methods employed in previous studies and research on rainfall forecasting models was undertaken. Further to that, the effect resulting from climate change on structures of drainage infrastructure is considered in addition to the methods to enhance drainage system challenges with recent models developed for advanced drainage and waterway requirements that need to be designed in consideration of climate change.

Impact Evaluation Using Nonstationary Parameters for Historical and Projected Extreme Precipitation

“…Such nonstationary changes in extreme precipitation cause more significant damage or even the failure of existing water conservation facilities. Moreover, enhanced impacts of nonstationary also affect the service life of hydraulic construction projects [78] and other urban infrastructure [79,80] or increase the risk of bridge and highway damage or even failure [81].…”

Intercomparison of Mechanical Transplanted Rice and Direct Seeded Rice in Climate Change Resilient for Improving Crop-Water Productivity and Soil Health in North West IGP: A Review

“…Increased rainfall intensity, which is known as the main cause of floods, as well as destruction and devastation to agricultural productivity and farmer life are all results of the influence of global warming on the environment [41]. Global warming is a result of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily CO2, CH4, and N2O, which are emitted as a result of agriculture.…”

Environmental Flow Assessment Model on Sustainability Planning Strategies, Kenyir Lake Basin, Malaysia

“…Poor drainage planning is frequently a factor in property failure or significant damage, including to stormwater drainage systems that can remove water. Considering that it reduces surface erosion, the approach of increasing forest canopy density was a very effective means of reducing erosion and higher flow, which contribute to the sedimentation and flood phenomenon (Al-Ghadi et al, 2020).…”
