Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of the Lawrence Avenue Underflow Sewer System
… connects to the Main Stream Des Plaines Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP) system. This tunnel was constructed to convey and store combine sewage in an effort to prevent combine sewer overflows (CSOs) and alleviate flooding in the city of Chicago, issues that are likely to occur during extreme …

Extracting curbside storm drain locations from street-level images
… presents a machine vision procedure to identify and extract storm drain locations from natural images along surface street curbsides. Existing storm drain infrastructure information is commonly reposed by managing agencies in either paper or digital format. Access to these data for urban …

Annual Exceedance Probability Analysis
… called an AEP map, was presented. By using hydrologic and hydraulic modeling software, an AEP map can be created to determine and visualize the spatial distribution of the probability of flooding. An AEP map represents a continuous solution of the probability of flooding and can be used to …

Analysis, Modeling, and Forecasting Of Urban Flooding
As the world becomes more urbanized and heavy precipitation events increase in frequency and intensity, urban flooding is an emerging concern. Urban flooding is caused when heavy rainfall collects on the landscape, exceeding the capacity of drainage systems to effectively convey runoff. Unlike …

Determining the optimal river gauge location for a flood early warning system in Uganda using HEC-RAS and AHP
Flooding of the Manafwa River in Eastern Uganda causes significant damage in the district of Butaleja, and often occurs without advance warning. In 2012, the American Red Cross in Uganda requested MIT to develop a flood early warning system (FEWS) that can be used to expedite disaster response in …

Floodplain Risk Analysis Using Flood Probability and Annual Exceedance Probability Maps
… determining the effects of natural variability and model uncertainty on the extents of computed floodplain boundaries. The first approach represents the floodplain boundary as a spatial map of flood probabilities -- with values between 0 and 100%. Instead of representing the floodplain boundary …

Floodplain and Flood Probability Mapping Using Geodatabases
… creating digital maps for floodplain delineation and flood probability studies and storing them in a geodatabase. Methods for creating a geodatabase for water resources outside of a GIS are presented. The geodatabase follows the ArcHydro data model. Methods are also shown for creating digital …
