RainGain program - WorkPackage 4 - by Marie Claire ten Veldhuis - TU Delft

RAINGAIN Kickoff17-18 November 2011

Work Package 4TU Delft, Marie-claire ten Veldhuis

o Implementation of fine-scale rainfall data (WP2), flood modelling and prediction (WP3)into urban water management practice

o Practice = pilot locations: - Rotterdam - Leuven- Marne-la-Vallée - Seine-St.-Denis- Croydon - Redbridge

RAINGAIN Work Package 4

RAINGAIN Work Package 4

Output: Report current stormwater and flood control pilots

Output: List of flood-prone locations, flood causes and characteristics

Output: Training material, manuals, guidelines for implementation

Output: Customised solutions for flood-prone locations at pilots + model test results for solutions

WP4

A14 State-of-the-art pilots for stormwater and flood control

A15 Analysis of peak rainfall and flood events at pilot locations; weak spots

A17 Training on implementation of fine-scale rainfall and flood data and forecasting

A16 Development of solutions to improve pluvial flood control at pilots

RAINGAIN Work Package 4

WP4 actions through project stageso Initial stage - collect information: State-of-the-art

stormwater and flood control tools, instruments and solutions in pilots

Report to intercompare state-of-the-art

o Analysis stage: historical peak rainfall and flood events at pilot locations; weak spots (flood-prone), causes, reactions

List of flood-prone locations, flood causes and characteristics

RAINGAIN Work Package 4WP4 actions through project stages

o Initial stage - collect information Report to intercompare state-of-the-arto Analysis stage: historical peak rainfall and flood events List of flood-prone locations, flood causes and characteristicso Solutions stage: Development of solutions to improve flood

control at pilots; exchange of solutions between partners Customised solutions for pilots + model tests

o Training on implementation: through workshops and Nat.Obs.Group meetings; material from WPs 2, 3 and 4

Workshops, guidelines, manuals, demos

Output: Report current stormwater and flood control pilots

WP4

A14 State-of-the-art pilots for stormwater and flood control

Planning: start Sep-Nov 2011 – end April 2012 Input from pilots B, F, NL,

UK:

•Current use of rainfall data for design and operation

•Current stormwater drainage system characteristics

•Principles used for design and operational control

•Historical overview of flood events

RAINGAIN WP4 – Action 14

Examples of input:

o Design reports of urban drainage systems in pilot siteso Reports, results of hydrodynamic calculationso Analysis reports of urban drainage systemso Description of monitoring programo Description of operational control protocolso Flood event reportso Organisational aspects: responsibilities for urban drainage management
