Thesis Abstract

**Abstract
** Stormwater management is a critical component of urban infrastructure to mitigate flooding, erosion, and pollution. This thesis focuses on the analysis and design of sustainable stormwater management systems for urban areas. The study investigates the challenges of traditional stormwater management practices and explores innovative solutions to improve the sustainability and effectiveness of stormwater systems. The introduction provides background information on the importance of sustainable stormwater management in urban areas. It highlights the increasing impact of urbanization on hydrological processes and the environment, emphasizing the need for sustainable stormwater management practices. The literature review examines existing stormwater management techniques and technologies, including green infrastructure, Low Impact Development (LID) practices, and sustainable drainage systems. It identifies gaps in current practices and highlights the potential benefits of integrating sustainable stormwater management systems in urban areas. The research methodology outlines the approach taken to analyze and design sustainable stormwater management systems. It includes data collection methods, modeling techniques, and criteria for evaluating the performance of different stormwater management strategies. The discussion of findings presents the results of the analysis and design of sustainable stormwater management systems. It evaluates the effectiveness of various strategies in reducing flood risk, improving water quality, and enhancing urban resilience. The findings demonstrate the potential of sustainable stormwater management systems to mitigate the negative impacts of urbanization on the environment. The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the study and discusses the implications for future research and practice. It emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable stormwater management practices to create resilient and environmentally friendly urban areas. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the advancement of sustainable stormwater management practices in urban areas. By analyzing and designing innovative stormwater management systems, this study offers valuable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and engineers to enhance the sustainability of urban infrastructure and improve the quality of life for urban residents.
