An integrated spatial decision support system for urban stormwater management

Abstract

One of the objectives of urban stormwater management is to ensure the systematic control of urban developments by means of integrated watershed-wide flood-control plans. Conceptually, the implementation of the plans is possible. However, there are a number of difficulties that need to be overcome before it can be implemented in practice. They are: (a) The problem in the compilation and updating of the hydraulic and landuse information in urbanizing watersheds for use in the preparation of the input data files for flood simulation programs.
