Design and Analysis of a Sustainable Urban Drainage System

Project Abstract

Urban drainage systems play a crucial role in managing stormwater runoff in urban areas and preventing flooding. However, traditional drainage systems often face challenges related to capacity overload, water pollution, and lack of sustainability. This research project aims to address these issues by designing and analyzing a sustainable urban drainage system that integrates green infrastructure practices to enhance stormwater management.
