Course: Urban Stormwater Management in a Changing Climate

Designing future-proof cities and stormwater systems requires some forecast of what rainfalls can be expected. In this step we will go over a few examples of where this data can …

In this movie, Kelsey talks about how greenhouse gas emissions are changing the earth’s climate, and what this means for rainfall patterns and urban hydrology.

In the previous step we explored intensity-duration-frequency curves. In this step we will have a look at how these are obtained, as well as some examples of IDF data from …

In the previous step we had a look at how urbanization and the increase in impervious areas and sewers affects the runoff from catchments. There are also several other factors …

In the previous video, we talked about how rainfall can become runoff in both natural and urbanized catchments. To quantify both precipitation and runoff we can use graphs called hydrographs …

In this movie, Kelsey talks about the urban water cycle. That is, how water moves in the natural environment and how this is affected by urbanization. She also describes how …

Throughout the course you will learn more about stormwater management and how it can be considered when designing for in a changing climate. In the first week, the course focuses …
