Modeling the impacts of climate change and flooding on sanitary sewage system using SWMM simulation: A case study

Climate change has several impacts on rainfall patterns, increasing surface runoff, leading to sewer flooding, and receiving water contamination. This study analyzed the effects of climate change and flooding on the Al-Shuhada Quarter sewer system in Samawah City, Iraq, using the Storm Water Managem...
