Dual-drainage concept:
Sewer Network + Overland Network
AOFD Methodology
Tool for analysis and generation of
overland network and automatically
quantifying hydraulic parameters for
simulation model of pluvial urban
flooding
Based on Digital Elevation Model
information
Nodes: ponds and associated storage
capacity
Links: pathways + computed
geometry
Interactions between the overland flow
and sewer systems occur at manholes

The ponds identified by the AOFD tool coincide with known depressions and storage
areas within the Cranbrook Catchment and also with areas which have experienced
surface flooding in the past

Based on radar data (STEPS model)
Based on network of rain gauges only (Support Vector

PLANNED COURSES
Introductory Module: I.1. Introduction to urban water cycle and system I.2 Why and how are
urban areas flooded types of flooding I.3. Flood mapping, vulnerability and resilience I.4.
DIANE_CM project outputs and how to use them (Platform, Guidelines)
Group 1 Planners: P1. The role of planning in flood vulnerability reduction P2. Data, models and
planning tools, quantification of vulnerability P3. Means of flood reduction (structural and non
structural measures, SUDS, WSUD) for greenfield and retrofit applications. P4. Simple demo
training tools for planners (SimCity) with example exercises
Group 2 Flood modellers: FM1. Advanced data sets for modelling of different types of flooding
FM2. Models and pluvial food modelling enhancement tools (incl. AOFD) FM3. Rainfall and urban
flood prediction and quantification of uncertainty. FM4. Vulnerability quantification, mapping and
risk assessment FM5. Demo site Redbridge with example exercises
Group 3 Real time Operators and Emergency Managers: RT1. Rainfall and urban flood prediction
(data, models, mapping, critical time assessment and management) RT2. Methods and tools for RT
operation of flood management systems (centralised vs decentralised approach) RT3. Methods
and tools for emergency management RT4. Demo site Redbridge with example exercises
Group 4 Vulnerable population: Pop1. Prior to Floods: Use of vulnerability maps, Managing
property flood vulnerability Pop2. During Floods: Community organisation and interactions with
flood emergency managers and access to electronic media information Pop3. After Floods:
