Abstract |
|
Rapid urbanization and climate change have rendered conventional "grey" drainage infrastructure increasingly inadequate, precipitating a global rise in urban flood events. This review critically evaluates the efficacy of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques through the lens of computational simulation. By synthesizing literature on hydrologic modeling (SWMM, PCSWMM), this paper assesses the performance of structural interventions across diverse geographic contexts, from the "Sponge Cities" of China to the data-scarce urban agglomerations of India. The review identifies a non-linear relationship between storm magnitude and BMP effectiveness, highlighting significant research gaps in multi-objective optimization, climate change stress-testing, and the hydrological constraints of high-groundwater coastal environments. |
