Urban drainage models are whole system models that focus on urban areas, where impacts are the most significant.
00:13
An urban drainage model is a hydraulic model of both underground pipe drainage systems and above-ground systems,
00:20
interacting together within an urban environment.
00:23
The included below-ground drainage in these models may be combined or sanitary sewer systems.
00:30
The below-ground sanitary systems typically drain to a treatment works.
00:36
Urban drainage models may also include separate surface water sewer systems that drain to a discharge point,
00:42
culverted water courses, and highway drainage.
00:46
They can also include above ground drainage, such as water courses, drainage channels, and overland flow paths.
00:55
These models are intended to provide insights into the hydraulic interaction within the urban environment, such as:
01:02
Flooding from the below-ground drainage onto the surface.
01:06
Or the reverse; surface water entering the below-ground drains.
01:11
Spills from combined sewer overflows or sanitary sewer overflows.
01:17
Quantifying additional flows into the sewer system, such as ground infiltration or misconnections.
01:24
Catchment asset performance and resilience assessments.
01:28
Identifying key flooding mechanisms, both above- and below-ground.
01:33
Understanding optimal flooding mitigation strategies for both above- and below-ground solutions.
01:40
InfoWorks ICM hydraulic modeling outputs for an urban drainage model, can provide a cost-benefit analysis of your project.
01:48
This example is a Risk Damage Calculation output.
01:52
Such output allows local governments to quantify the benefits and costs of flood risk management.
01:59
Furthermore, emergency planning authorities can identify critical areas for flood damage and build post-disaster emergency plans.
