Karachi, Pakistan – 19th August 2006
While waiting for the next flood in your city… Karachi, Pakistan – 19th August 2006 Power supply,telecommunication,moblie systems disrupted Rain related death toll: 26 Rain: mm…..

While waiting for the next flood in your city…
13
Urban poor living on the banks of an urban river in Jakarta, Indonesia
14
Causes and types of urban flooding
15
Today, the model is a copy of the city….
Initial elevation grid Grid with streets Final grid with streets and buildings Lowering by 20 cm places where there are streets Raising by 5 m places where there are buildings prepM21 part
17
Modeling of flooding in cities
18
What is flooded ?
19
What does flooding cost ?
Direct Damages
20
Traffic Planning
21
Flood damage reduction
Land use planning Reduction of the flood extent Reduction of the interaction with the flood Control of the surface runoff and subsequently flooded areas Emergency plans and actions Flood warning and information systems
22
Do you believe in climate changes ?
Will a 10 year rain become a 2-3 year rain ?? 30 years => 5 years ? Can/will we ”build” fast enough ?? What do we do - When we get flooded ?
23
This should be avoided…
This was the control of a pumping station
24
Flooding computed for a new “climate” 10 year rain
26

Flooding computed for a new “climate” 10 year rain
28
The football field as flood strorage…

Beijing – 2004
30
How should we handle extreme rain fall and climate changes in the urban areas?
Informed decissions!!!
31
How can damages be reduced ? Can you learn something from
So while you are waiting for the climate changes and the next flood in your city – spend some time to think about: What will be flooded ? What will it cost ? How can damages be reduced ? Can you learn something from other places ?
32
Managment of climate changes
Summary Analyses of urban flooding Climate & Risk/Hazard analyses Timely management (climate, planning, cost-benefit, etc) Today In the future
