Übersetzung für "Urban flooding" in Deutsch

Urban flooding can now be managed much more effectively, thanks to the smart Artificial Intelligence-based technology, Centaur.

Objective Public institutions and communities have greater skills, resources and capacity to adapt to more frequent and severe urban flooding in the wake of climate change.

In the project, the problem of urban flooding is analysed and explained by looking at detailed spatial information of the city environment and water systems.

Riverine and coastal settlements are particularly at risk (high confidence6), but urban flooding could be a problem anywhere that storm drains, water supply, and waste management systems have inadequate capacity.

Urban flooding has the potential to impact thousands of citizens and numerous economic activities, and so the aim of Centaur is to reduce flooding magnitude and frequency in cities.

It includes felling trees in forest regions, which has led to soil erosion and faster run-off of rain, or urban development in flood plains.

The Army Corps of Engineers’ budget for levee construction in New Orleans was gutted, including funds specifically aimed at the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project.

With the possibility that climate change may result in a 15–20% increase in annual precipitation in northern latitudes, new solutions for managing urban floods and pollution problems are needed.

The health depends also on the quality of the drinkable water: in a country where surface water is heavily contaminated and deep water polluted by arsenic, it needs a professional approach to give access to drinkable water to the communities, whatever the conditions are: urban slums, easily flooded villages,...

Improving cross-sectoral and institutional co-operation will set the framework for a more integrated urban flood management approach and help to implement the national legal and policy framework.

In urban areas, OpenFlows FLOOD can be connected to a model generated by SewerGEMS to simulate the surface and stormwater flow.

Generating such data is the goal of an Eawag project known as Calico (Calibration of Coupled urban flood models with experimental surface runoff data), which is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

By measures of retention in the areas of flood formation as well as in urban areas, flood danger can significantly be decreased.

Intelligent Network Operations (Jörg Rieckermann, Joao Leitao, Andreas Scheidegger, Frank Blumensaat) aims at (i) developing methods to obtain better data on key variables and states of our wastewater systems, such as rainfall, flows and pollutant discharges to receiving waters, (ii) provide better models to assess water and pollutant fluxes as well as urban flood risk and aging of our infrastructure.

A brochure and an information folder have been developed for municipalities, containing practical information on preventive management of urban floods.
