Assessment of The Impact of The Ratio of The Developed Area on The Fluvial Flood Risk of Lower Wortley Beck
Abstract
Population and valuable investments have been increasing day by day in basins. Thus, urban rives create a serious potential risk in the cities. This paper investigates the impacts of the percentages of the impermeable surfaces on the discharges from sub-catchments of the Lower Wortley Beck, Leeds, UK. Lower Wortley is in urbanized and ungauged part of the basin. The fluvial flood events were created by combining hydrological and hydrodynamic models for various events. Flood events were designed by using Revitalised Flood Hydrograph (ReFH) rainfall-runoff models. The impact of land use changes was examined by applying various Extent of urban and suburban cover (URBEXT) parameter of the Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) catchment descriptor. Also, flood extents were simulated by linking Flood Modeler Suite with TUFLOW, hydrodynamic models. The outcomes of these simulations are probabilistic inundation maps with maximum water depth values. Thus, the impact of the different percentages of the impermeable surfaces of the sub-catchments on the discharge and fluvial flood risk at the downstream can be observed. These outcomes can be used to enrich the flood resilience approaches by city councils.
