Urban Stormwater Management by Optimizing Low Impact Development Techniques and Integration of SWMM and SUSTAIN Models

Unsustainable development and rapid urbanization have led to changes in the hydrological characteristics of watersheds, and the risk of flooding has been increased consequently. One of the solutions used for quantitative and qualitative control of urban runoff is green infrastructure and low impact...
