Resumen

Under climate warming, the frequency and intensity of extreme rainstorms-induced urban pluvial floods are significantly increasing, leading to severe flooding risks in megacities. An integrated model that incorporates rainfall processing, waterlogging simulation, GIS spatial analysis, risk assessment, and measure evaluation was developed, optimizing both the assessment procedure and the computing efficiency for assessing pluvial flood risk and adaptation measures. The historic ?9.13? extreme rainstorm event is simulated, showing excellent consistency of inundation depth and area compared to Shanghai?s ?110? alarm validation records. Three extreme rainstorm scenarios, using return periods of 200a, 500a, and 1000a, were generated to evaluate the flooding risk and measures? performance. The results show that the low-lying areas in the solution district are the most inundated region based on the existing defense measures. The maximum inundation depth of high-extreme rainstorm scenarios is up to 1.5 m, and the low-lying areas would still be above 1 m even in low-extreme scenarios. Increasing the drainage capacity can effectively reduce the total loss by 80% in the low-extreme scenario, yet still suffering a significant loss in both moderate-extreme and high-extreme scenarios. The integrated model can provide technical support for the rapid evaluation of flood control prevention capabilities.
