Pluvial Flood Risk Estimation Procedure for Small Urban Watersheds
… a general procedure that can be used to model urban pluvial flood scenarios, estimate damages, and quantify pluvial flood risk for microwatersheds (watersheds of a few square miles or less). The model development was accomplished using EPA's SWMM in combination with GIS datasets and analyses. …

Differentiating Small Urban Space as a Type and an Idea
As population trends continue toward increased urbanisation, a number of cities are addressing rapid urban growth with popular management strategies, which call for compacting outward expansion and intensifying urban densities. However, though widely recognised as essential, urban spaces under such …

Demand/supply equilibrium in designing bus route of small urban area
… study applied this concept to a bus system in small urban area by minimizing the total operational costs and maximizing the system's attractiveness to the riders. The total operational costs are reduced by designing a route-network which will yield a minimum total bus travel distance within the …

Modeling event-based coupled hydrologic and mass transport in small urban watersheds
… events data were collected at two similar urban watersheds for model calibration and verification. A mathematically and physically-based criterion was proposed to differentiate rainfall-runoff events between either mass-limited or flow-limited. Statistical techniques of Logistic Regression …
