Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce and invite submissions to this new Special Issue, titled “Urban Flooding Control and Sponge City Construction”.

Extreme rainfalls occur frequently, causing serious urban flooding in recent years. Urban flooding includes local water ponding and road flooding. In addition to the rainfall itself, the factors affecting urban flooding include topography, slope, land use, storm inlets, low impact development facilities, drainage network, storage facilities, river and lake water levels, dam setting and operation, etc. Besides rainfall and terrain, a reasonable adjustment of the factors mentioned above can affect the degree of flood. The prediction and early warning of flood is a task that can be carried out before the occurrence of flood, which requires a real-time, fast, and accurate simulation of flooding events. Traditional hydrological and hydraulic models are extremely time-consuming, especially when it comes to a large scale of simulation. Hence, new simulation and prediction techniques are needed, which include, for example, machine learning. The prevention and control of flooding requires close cooperation from relevant departments such as meteorology, drainage, and water conservancy. It is necessary to build an intelligence platform to connect the work of these departments. The effectiveness of intelligence platforms is an important research topic. The above research content is closely related to the construction of a sponge city.

This Special Issue invites the submission of original research papers or review papers covering the latest findings and progresses in this field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: urban flooding forecasting; urban flooding control; low impact development (LID); major drainage system; sponge city; machine learning; and intelligence platform. Contributions related to controlling urban floods by applying intelligent techniques will be also welcomed.

A proposed method for analyzing the effectiveness of rainwater storage tanks (RWSTs) based on various enabling rule scenarios has been proposed to address the issue of incomplete strategies and measures for controlling excessive rainwater runoff. Three enabling rules for RWSTs have been proposed, as follows: enabling rule I, which involves activation upon rainfall; enabling rule II, which requires the rainfall intensity to reach a predetermined threshold; and enabling rule III, which necessitates the cumulative rainfall to reach a set threshold. In order to assess the effectiveness of these enabling rules when reducing the total volume of rainwater outflow (TVRO), peak flow rate (PFR), and peak flow velocity (PFV), a comparative analysis was conducted to determine which enabling rule yielded the most optimal control effect. The findings indicate that the enabling rule I is responsible for determining the optimal unit catchment’s rainfall capture volume (UCRCV), which is measured at 300 m3·ha−1. Additionally, the control effect of the TVRO of the RWSTs remains largely unaffected by the peak proportion coefficient. Enabling rule II establishes the optimal activation threshold at a rainfall intensity of 1 mm·min−1; under this enabling rule, RWSTs demonstrate the most effective control over PFR and PFV. Enabling rule III enables the determination of the optimal activation threshold, which is set at a cumulative rainfall of 20 mm; under this enabling rule, the implementation of the RWST technique yields the most effective control over the TVRO. Consequently, the optimal rainwater runoff reduction plan for the study area has been successfully determined, providing valuable guidance for the implementation of scientific and reasonable optimal runoff management.
